The Brendan Sorsby debacle is arsenic disfigured of a section arsenic we’ve seen yet.
We haven’t talked overmuch astir nan Sorby point here, astir of nan clip we thin to conscionable attraction connected Mizzou. But this communicative has ripples that are going to widen each nan measurement done to nan corners of nan football.
You astir apt cognize nan basics, but successful lawsuit you haven’t been paying attraction present it is. Sorsby was a prized transportation backmost aft a much than coagulated twelvemonth past twelvemonth for Cincinnati. So he signed for a batch of money pinch Texas Tech. Afterward, news collapsed that Sorsby had placed a batch of bets. Like a batch of bets. He moreover stake connected his ain squad while he was a backup astatine Indiana.
As we person each collectively decided, gambling is good successful definite situations. But a cardinal misdeed is gambling, nan 1 point you can’t do, is bet connected your ain team. Even if you’re betting ON your squad to succeed, it’s nan biggest of large no-nos. So evidently he can’t play right?
Literally nan only spot connected nan satellite that would let Sorsby to play is nan United States Court system, wherever nan NCAA has tried and grounded to person immoderate level of governance upheld. In nan property of NIL, galore players person sued and almost each of them person won. The NCAA takes nonaccomplishment aft nonaccomplishment aft loss, contempt nan truth that this is nan only clip wherever it’s difficult to disagree pinch nan NCAAs position that Sorsby should beryllium suspended.
Where things guidelines correct now is an injunction was granted to let Sorby to play for Texas Tech, and immoderate effort by nan Big 12 aliases different College teams to punish Tech for playing him has seen nan threat of a lawsuit.
Then to make matters weirder, Tech’s management continues to do nan incorrect thing. First, Tech AD Kirby Hocutt released a really agelong statement that was… well, bad. Then, The Athletic Department released a full video which… was besides bad.
Brendan Sosrby should not play assemblage football. He should proceed to activity support for his gambling addiction but his expertise to play assemblage shot should person been complete nan infinitesimal he placed bets connected his ain team. Regardless of whether aliases not he played, betting connected your ain squad aliases moreover your ain athletics is simply a difficult reddish line. Sorsby crossed it, and past alternatively of doing nan easy correct thing, Sosby and Texas Tech support making things harder and uglier by trying to get him to play.
The likelihood present is that Tech sticks to their guns and we fto Sorsby compete this season. But it’s conscionable different gross reminder of really acold nan NCAA has fallen. And each because presidents and administrators went decades refusing to fto players make nan money they were earning. Without nan expertise to discipline, nan NCAA has nary existent logic for existing. If only they’d group up corporate bargaining…
Yesterday astatine Rock M and Rock M+
The big news yesterday was 4-star WR and apical 300 enlistee Lawrence Britt committed to nan Tigers aft a agelong courtship. From Sammy’s station yesterday:
A autochthonal from Memphis, Britt is classed arsenic a Top-15 subordinate successful nan authorities of Tennessee. Nationally, he ranks among nan Top 300 players successful nan state among each recruiting services. Britt was besides a personnel of nan 2026 Under Armour All-American Game.

As pinch each protect freshman recruits, his champion opportunity for early snaps will beryllium connected typical teams. For Rhymes, it could beryllium a spot wherever he flourishes. The tactical asks will beryllium minimal, and Rhymes tin fto his beingness gifts play. Getting onto nan two-deep astatine nan linebacker position mightiness return different twelvemonth aliases two.
