Quote from: The Whyte Boar on Jun 12, 2026, 09:32 AMThe conferences either draw a hard line or this is truly the beginning of the end even though it might take a bit to play out.

This is why I don't think a breakaway by the Big Ten and SEC (and subsequent super league) would work out.

It's *really* difficult to inject uniformity, standards and governance when something is already in process and out of control vs. early in the process when something is growing organically.

The poison pill is the booster. It's not a situation like with the NFL where you have one owner for each team. For the most part, college programs have multiple boosters, and right they are running amok.

Plus, how would collective bargaining even work? How are you going to collectively bargain with a group of players whose eligibility is finite?

Again, it is insane to me that Texas Tech is effectively mortgaging their future for a guy who threw for 2800 yards last year and went 12-12 at Cincinnati.

They've gone to the mattresses for him in a way that you would only do for guys like Cam Newton, Mayfield, or Burrow.

Like I said earlier in this thread, it would be hilarious if this is the move that ultimately costs them a spot in a breakaway super league.

it's perfectly legal under all it's members state laws to allow the b12 to enforce its rules. now other state attorney generals say they are willing to join the case if asked.

what the texass ag was thinking in getting on the wrong side of this, i have no idea. incredibly stupid move. (of course the sand aggie billionaire being a big donor to him probably had a lot to do with it).

the whole thing was going to turn into a huge legal hairball. the narrative will be that the kid didn't want to be a distraction (some truth to it i'm sure), but i think the school reached the point that they knew it wasn't worth it going to court with the conference.

Why on earth would an NFL team take a chance on him?  Talk about being radioactive.

Will be interesting to see what happens here. The NFL has generally always taken gambling very seriously and rightfully so. That being said I think we are coming at this from more of a boomer standpoint where as a lot of the younger fans probably give zero fricks about this. Best guess is he'll be taken probably later in the supplemental draft by a team willing to take a chance on him...anyone with a QB aging out (Pittsburgh)....RAMS (assuming stafford is still playing)....it'll be a place where he wouldn't be expected to come in a compete for a job right away. I kind of doubt anyone wastes a high pick on a guy that has some huge publically known issues going on. I think his draft grade was gonna be 2nd to 4th rounder type...don't know that he was considered 1st rounder but then again a lot of that goes to present needs and what's available. 

Also and oh btw the NFL could potentially suspend this guy for a year right out of the box just to drive home a point.

I don't think anyone gives a shit that he was gambling.  I think a great many take issue with him gambling on his own team and games.  I don't understand how that doesn't rise to a federal crime.

The injunction is what hurt Sorsby the most.

If he doesn't go that route, he could've played the addiction and recovery card and potentially gotten on with a team. 

The injunction and shitstorm that followed - which basically tore college football apart and left Tech a mess - made him untouchable.

Their billionaire owner/donor tried to bully the rest of the Big 12 and college football with threats of vastly expensive litigation.  It backfired when state governments began to get involved.  He escalated and bet that the Big 12 would back down, instead they escalated too. 

What is a little unclear is whether Tech backed down in the end or Soresby simply said "I'm out".  It's quite possible he didn't want to be in limbo and become more of a pariah than he already was.  Also, he did in fact commit some federal crimes and the increased attention would make him a lightning rod.  The ultimate escalation would be for him to be prosecuted.  It may be that he wanted to try to avoid that and get on with his life.

I'll be honest, I was hoping he'd play this year. The shitshow would have been spectacular, and it would've been interesting to have seen whether the team would've unraveled the minute he fumbles, throws a bad pick, or throws the ball away on 3rd down.

It was fun to see quite literally the entirety of the sports world united against Texas Tech. 

It would've made Texas Tech games appointment viewing. I would've hate-watched every game.

How do you feel about enabling a opioid addicted player by supplying him fentanyl?  He's not a kid placing a few bets.  It's like 9000 that are known. Bet over $90k ( hope the irs looks into his winnings).  He is a degenerate gambling addict.  He will likely relapse as it's a seriously hard addiction to kick.  Tech and the judge were enabling this putz in his addiction with that injunction.  He needs to skip the draft and focus on recovery.  Art Schlicter 2.0.

Well, an opioid addicted player who is taking fentanyl will probably have his play affected.  That wouldn't be ideal and he should be punished.  

His addiction, if it is an addiction, has no bearing on his play so long as he isn't betting on his own team.
