So what happens now? What can the NCAA do? What is the most likely reply to this judgment? Is this judge a tech alum? This is bullsh*t

This is like rule number one that you cannot violate. And it's drilled into everyone's heads at a very early age. But this court says, "Nah it's cool, because it would have like really sucked for him if he was suspended, you know?"

Absolute insanity.

I love how they framed Sorsby as the victim for his own actions lmao!! This is what’s wrong with kids these days. No rules and no consequences. F Cody Campbell and F tech

the only rule is there are no rules

Yes he will suffer irreparable injury but he did it to himself. If I don’t wear a seatbelt and I am in an accident it is my fault not the car manufacturers fault. This is RUBBISH!!!

exactly....A Lubbock alumni reunion in robes doesn’t control national eligibility, and it won’t stop the NCAA from pushing for an expedited hearing or dropping the forfeiture hammer if they need to. All this does is make Tech look even more desperate.

What can you not do if you can bet on your own games

There goes the game of college football we love

As a friend of mine just said. it is time collective bargaining and to form a new league. Or you are correct. It is over.

SEC needs to break off. Cody Campbell has ruined college sports. There was almost certainly some fishy business behind the scenes to get this injuction granted.

This is sad college sports are done

Totally.

I’m not one to doom, but this is the end of college sports.

"The NCAA will retain the right to appeal Monday’s ruling. If appealed, the case would go before the Texas Seventh Court of Appeals. Notably, all four justices in the Texas Seventh Court of Appeals are Texas Tech Law graduates."

Oh no he would have to deal with the consequences of his own actions?

This injunction doesn’t mean Sorsby ‘won’ anything - it just freezes the NCAA’s penalty until a real hearing. It’s the legal equivalent of a divorce judge saying, ‘Nobody change the locks until we talk.’ That’s it. I would imagine the NCAA is absolutely going to push for that hearing before Week 1, and they’ve got a strong argument because eligibility decisions are time‑sensitive and affect every team, not just Tech. And if the timing doesn’t work out? The NCAA still has the nuclear option: declare any game he plays in a forfeiture. A Lubbock County judge doesn’t get to dictate eligibility for games in Austin, Norman, Manhattan, Stillwater, or anywhere else in the NCAA footprint. The bigger picture: if this actually stood long‑term, college football is cooked. You can’t have players betting on games and then hide behind a friendly local court. Every AD, every compliance office, every coach in America is furious about this. Tech and Sorsby just made themselves the poster children for ‘why the sport needs guardrails.’ So no - this isn’t over, and it’s definitely not the win Tech fans think it is.

This is not a NCAA decision. The NCAA said he could not play. This is a courts decision. The courts can rule regardless of affilation or league a team is in.

This is entirely nonsensical to me. Yes, of course Brendan Sorsby will suffer irreparable harm from forfeiting the cash he was about to make from repeatedly and flagrantly violating NCAA rules. That’s like granting a politician who embezzled campaign contributions an injunction because getting kicked out of Congress would cause him “irreparable harm.”

The NCAA as a party is not a Texas resident. I ask anyone currently practicing trial work why this case was not removed to Federal Court and why venue was properly in Lubbock at all.

The sport is over. Kids can bet on games they can play in. Open the floodgates to hell.

NCAA can deem them ineligible for the playoffs? I hope. If not, this should escalate us moving away from the NCAA

You’re on to something here

DISGRACEFUL

This is insane. This could be an additional catalyst to rid the major players in college football to leave the NCAA behind.
