Going to be interesting to see what happens here. I don’t suspect we will see Sorsby at all in 2026.

[Steamboat Willie]

Imagine the sh*t-show college sports will be if Sorsby and Kessler win, and players are allowed to gamble on their own games.

What team is going to draft someone that bets on his own team. You can drive drunk and kill people and still play in the NFL, but you gamble on our own team that is just the unforgivable sin.

Why would team waste a draft pick on a player with a gambling that be banned for life?

Man, they just can’t let this come close to opening the door for gambling by players. 
 

this is so much bigger than just Sorsby. I can’t see any institution allowing this. It would deal college sports a massive hit and might be a death blow for the NCAA. But it goes way beyond that. Vegas and betting sites stand to lose millions if people decide college sports is dirty. Think Vegas is going to stay out of this fight? 
 

then there’s the tv networks who stand to lose millions and maybe billions when advertisers won’t want their names associated with shady stuff. be knowing, those boys will be all over this deal. Sorsby must be a sacrificial lamb, even if you have sympathy for him. 
 

im not even sure NFL teams will want him?

I know schools like Tech and A&M are somewhat immune to having no shame when it comes to optics and horrible takes, but this takes the cake. YOU SCREWED UP! Sorry you ruined your life, but take the L and move on.

This scandal could keep him out of the Hall of Fame.

[Lnghrn]

Reminds me of Art Schleiter (sp?) Ohio St qb who had series gambling issues.  I think the NFL teams will have a hard time taking a guy who has potential gambling issues.

Society as a whole has lost the trait of being accountable for your actions. It’s always somebody else or something’s else’s fault that this happened to me.

The legal case for the NCAA is quite strong because it aligns with every other sports league or association. Further, the NFL will not simply allow Sorsby to enter the supplemental draft unquestioned. Player gambling issues is the worst thing that could happen to the NFL. 

[AusMOJO]

He should be 100% punished and set an example for the rest of the players. Show some backbone. If he does get found guilty, what will Tech do at QB?

[tenneseehorn08]

(mostly) not because he's at Tech, I hope he loses the buyout lawsuit with Cincinnati and is forced to pay, cannot reach a settlement on suspension,  and the NFL turns him down. There must be consequences in life to deter people from doing dumb things. 

And hiring Kessler is stupid. There is no antitrust agreement not to compete issue here like with capping athlete compensation. And even if there were, there is an obvious pro-competitive justification for the NCAA enforcing it's anti-gambling rules. 

[harveycmd]

This is a no-brainer despite the moral relativism of Tech fans. You literally can't have legitimate sports if the players are permitted to gamble on their own team's games. 

[ClubWhatever]

I blatantly violated the eligibility rules of my league.  So much so that I need professional help.  But I’m still going to try to bully my league into letting me play.

[harveycmd]

Criminal sooner Mateer should be out too. This is a matter much too serious to tolerate tomfoolery. 

[harveycmd]

I've been thinking about national comparisons for our less than upright opponents:

Criminal Sooners=Soviet Union: Cheat, spy and steal like crazy.

Aggies=France: Constantly chide and whine but ultimately depend on you for their security.

Tech=Saudi Arabia: desert oil and nothing else.

I wrote about my personal experience with Kessler this morning. I don’t know if he’ll be able to do anything but I wouldn’t put it past him.
