The NCAA Response to Sorsby

[tommym]

How did Tech not see this coming? You dont do background checks before sending 6 million to a kid. Then you double down, destroying a head coach and athletic director, in the process. Tech fans at least the normal ones have to be going, Did we sell our souls for this. Only the Big 12 once them. Freaking shame, real shame. There should be a more intense investigation by state and federal agency into the dealings of Tech. I bet these is only the tip to a lot more issues. Then you have Ted Cruz taken the side of cody Campbell, you have to be stupid.

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. 

Yep, Campbell is all in, and the flip card is coming.

Not so sure about that … He’s very well respected and looked up to in HS coaching community 

I do think he’s taking a big hit behind the scenes in coaching community right now

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?

Additionally, the Big10 would never accept what Tom Brady called a glorified community college and the SEC doesn’t need a rodeo clown like Cody Campbell.

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

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

 

When Roger Staubach threw that late long desperation heave to Drew Pearson in Minnesota back in the day he called it a "Hail Mary."

Tech trying an off-the-field legal and administrative move reminiscent of Staubach's pass. Difference being that Tech's try has even less chance of success.

Hook 'Em!

If yall think no Texas player has made a single bet…gambling has one purpose. Addiction.

Gambling is a problem and online versions are the fuel.

 

[Little Carmine]

9K bets is clearly intent to deceive and be under-the-radar.

A 1st year law student could win this case against Sorsby.

Given that reputation he built over the years as a high school coach, reading that script written for him by Campbell's legal team was simply sad.

Consider what his reputation could have been...if the coach had resigned and read a statement of his own... with an enhanced reputation for ethics, he most likely would have received consideration for a prime head coaching position at another university the next time the coaching carousel stopped spinning.

But no... he's going to be stuck with Tech and Campbell's Sorsby situation going forward. 

Glad I'm not a Tech fan. Never was, but at least I had grudging respect for the late Mike Leach. 

Now, Joey's right up there with Art Briles.

 

Hook 'Em!

Can’t say I’ve seen anyone on here making a statement that would indicate that.

Kinda makes you think…  If Tech did know and didn’t do anything until the criminal investigations were revealed, is the University potentially liable for enabling a criminal enterprise?

I unfortunately think that NIL and the Wild West spending that's taking place has some play in this.  Campbell dropped 6 big ones on this guy.

[Roy Hinojosa]

@Gerry Hamilton Why would any Texas high school coach or program want anything to do with Texas Tech anymore? 

[tsip92]

Even funnier, if Tech knew and didn’t do anything until the criminal investigations were revealed, could Sorsby sue Tech for enabling his addiction?

Who are you arguing against?

 

Completely morally bankrupt by TTU to back this guy. Sends a horrible message to their other student athletes too. 

[JMarquette]

Lawyer here - being totally impartial, I’ve never seen a TRO hearing where there is so much overwhelming evidence against a party seeking a T.I. - that normally comes out in discovery.

At this point in time, it looks like Sorsby is either a sociopath or just a huge narcissistic, liar scumbag and he's pulling everyone into his orbit.

That includes us by the way because all I see in my YouTube feed and X feed are a bunch of whiny, sensitive Tech fans all in their feelings or the college football influencers and analysts talking about Texas being soft for not accepting Tech's ridiculous demands.

Not a Lawyer here and I agree with the mouth breather Joshy

Because they are willing to pay above market value in NIL for players

Exactly, just weird when law enforcement knew, so sorsby goes to rehab. You would think the other two universities had to know as well. I mean do you blindly sign a guy to that much money without questioning his character. Kinda of hard to hide 90k on a college campus. The staffs at the other two university and Tech had to know it was happening. What a freaking mess?

[genevalonghorn]

Does anyone know whether Tech is truly out the 6M?  You have to think they have a morality/crimes etc. clause in their contracts with Sorsby.  Or is Cody just willing to whiz away the money?

[tommym]

These just makes the whole SMU being ban looks like why did they get banned. When you are having these happening all over college sports? Like Bobby been saying it is out of control. The one leading narrative is Cody Campbell, the one guy who doesnt care as long as he is leading. Politics should stay out of these, make a hard cap no matter where the money coming from. Police these cheap, Sec and big 10 take the league just create your own college league just like the NFL or AFL and be done with these mess.

[genevalonghorn]

Sorsby’s messaging around wanting to support other teams is also a red flag.  It raises the question whether he was taking insider info from his buddies and turning it into bets.

That’s a hot button issue right now with platforms like Polymarket.  Folks are being charged with crimes, like one recently where a service member allegedly involved in the Iran operation was allegedly placing bets on future military action he allegedly knew about already because he was training for it.
