Realist Horn Posted 1 hour ago Posted 1 hour ago just a few tidbits I read on Twitter (did not confirm): - Askew on the perception that student-athletes would not come forward on their own addictions based on a Sorsby ruling: “Mr. Sorsby didn’t come forward, he got caught. When he got caught, he went to treatment and that’s the first we hear of this mental health concern.” - Defense also notes, eligibility for Sorsby does not preclude him from being an ambassador for mental health. Says there is no get out of jail free card because you are a good quarterback. - In what I think is a really good point, the NCAA notes, Sorsby being eligible would be the first league in America to allow a player who bet on their own sport to play again. Notes this would be an irreparable harm to the NCAA. - Askew: Brendan Sorsby doesn’t need to go back into an environment that triggers his addiction. - Askew says he is happy Brendan Sorsby is getting the help he needs. Also says the whole case rises on Sorsby being a “serial violator of the rules” that it “somehow” creates an exception. Quote
