Cecil Cherry 👀

Loved how he refers to the school that he punches every button for in the third person.

Cody just said the quiet part out loud: Tech cowered in the corner while the injunction was being considered, hoping they wouldn’t have to make a hard call. They hoped the problem would just go away. The AD’s statement is a testament to their pathetic cowardice and lack of moral fortitude.

I've been a high school coach for 27 years. Never missed a THSCA convention... until this summer. I will not attend

One would think that at some point Big 12 leadership would step and be like this is not good for the conference. But nope, without Texas apparently sand aggy has anointed themselves the new leader of the conference with no contention.

Very low. The other 15 B12 schools will drive this. It won’t be Yormark.

I'm embarrassed for her.

I actually appreciate some of the clarification of facts and can't say I would handle the situation differently with my own son (I have daughters). But this isn't "new". He knew the rules and risks and he wants a different punishment. What if the NCAA comes back and says OK the punishment was too much. He can only play in half the games. Or can't participate in the post-season (a common punishment for team violations). Are we good or is everyone forced to follow the "whatever the court says" in these future scenarios? Nobody is saying that we don't want this person to get treatment and be better but this ruling essentially says the NCAA has zero authority to enforce their own rules.

I don't know, but the release of this statement and Joey canceling his press conference make it seem like they're starting to feel the pressure from all of this. Now it's just a matter of seeing what, if anything, comes from it.

signed it and forwarded it. I am a retired member of THSCA

Losers gonna loser

I would think playing quarterback in the situation is going to be so stressful as to be detrimental to the players recovery. Seems like this young man needs to stay at Tech, not play ball, regroup and work on his recovery until time to declare for next year's draft. Tech pretending they can only help him if he is on the team is a real bad look. Pretending he is better off in the pressure cooker that is big-time college football is ludicrous.

He doesn't care.... he got caught

What are the odds that Yormark grows a spine?

Ha, Tech left the Adidas and Mahomes logos off because even the logos said, ‘Don’t drag us into your clown show'

He only "sought treatment" once he got caught aka he did it for PR so he could make the BS "remorse" argument. It's not like he turned himself in, an online sportsbook contacted the NCAA exposing his bets. We all know if he didn't get caught, there would be bets that could be traced to him playing for Tech this season - don't let anyone convince you otherwise

BOOM!

Anyone who has ever gambled on a game that he / she has participated in / influenced needs to be forever removed more than arms length away from ever influencing a game again in order to protect the integrity of the game. Glad he is getting treatment, etc. but he went through great efforts to conceal his efforts because he knew it was wrong / illegal. If he is participating in a game, there will always be the question of "is he hiding his bets on this game again?" In order for fans to trust the outcome of a game, there can't be those questions about a player.

This statement is an embarrassment to Texas Tech. Hocutt didn’t ‘clarify’ anything - he basically printed out a denial, slapped the Tech logo on it, and hoped nobody in the Big 12 can read. The entire conference is calling them out, national media is dragging them, and Tech’s response is, ‘We swear we didn’t do the thing that benefits us more than anyone else'.... It’s pathetic. This is crisis management for people who think PR stands for ‘Please Respond.’ If this is the best they can do, no wonder Tech is the punchline of every AD group chat right now. They didn’t put out a statement....they put out a confession disguised as a shrug. Imagine being so deep in the mud that you have to publicly announce, ‘We didn’t secretly bankroll a lawsuit.’ That’s not exoneration - that’s desperation. Tech looks guilty, sloppy, and terrified, and this statement only made it worse.

The second picture. 🥹

One down, two to go!
