The NCAA Response to Sorsby

[Bobby Burton]

Here’s the NCAA response to Sorsby.

Law Enforcement being alerted to his gambling activities as he was in the state of Texas before he went to rehab is note worthy I think. Seems he really went to rehab bc law enforcement caught onto he scent. Curious if anything comes of it.

Worst of luck to tech and sorsby 

[Realist Horn]

Betting on Indiana 40 times - now we know why Joey and Campbell drummed up all the Texas smoke.

Could Sorsby also be facing some legal issues with law enforcement?

Tech betting they can sell their souls and hit the jackpot.  

But...we're all laughing at them.

What an absolute joke tech is trying to ruin the game of college football for a addict 

[Colby TS]

What a massive black eye for Joey and the entire Tech administration on this issue. You know they had the full story on all the bets two days ago when Joey got on the mic trying to downplay everything.

And this whole narrative of “he only bet on his team” is completely false. Unless Tech somehow doesn’t understand that taking the under on passing yards is, in fact, betting against your own team.

Also, how ridiculous does that “2-game suspension” look now that more of the facts have come out?

I honestly have no idea how situations like this normally play out. But now that a lot more of the facts are out, would it have been smarter for Sorsby to simply say, “I appreciate Texas Tech’s support, but I’m not going to fight the suspension and will enter the draft”?

At least then, all of these details in the court complaint may have never become public. Or would this information have come out regardless, even without the injunction case? It just seems like all of this being public could hurt his NFL chances even more.

[THookem]

If Tech pursues this any further, the NCAA should ban Tech in NCAA sports.   Period.

I can't even fathom how I would feel if my university not only condoned but engaged such behavior.  Sad.

Given how the Tech staff has handled this situation, if the SEC and B10 break away would things like this keep either conference from courting Tech?

[ClubWhatever]

Can we stop using  the name “Texas” in front of Tech?  What an embarrassment to the state.

If I was the president at Tech and he said that he’d be looking for a new job completely unacceptable imo

That’s what a normal person would think.

But Cody Campbell probably spent $6m to sign you so you probably have some sort of duty to see it through.

They’re not courting Tech, regardless.
