So Kessler argued that Sorsby should be allowed to play college football because he couldn't help himself...he had ( or has) an addiction.

Uh, ok... Now that he got inpatient counseling for a month, he's cured. So, he won't wager going forward because his addiction problem has been solved.

Gotta admit... Kessler is living up to his reputation as a good attorney.

This might explain the drastic change in the prediction market... people just need a plausible reason to let Sorsby off the hook and his attorney said he was in the grip of the gambling addiction disease. 

Geez.

Kalshi existing is crazy to me.

Sorsby is a young man who has a serious problem. Gambling companies are predatory, as are cigarette companies, and even social media companies. Anyone with a kid knows how addictive and harmful these screens can be. I just hope the kid can get the help he needs, and that his life isn't ruined by really stupid decisions he made when he was 18-19.

Suggests Sorsby likely to be allowed to play at TT this season. 

If that happens, it will be the final nail in the NCAA, imo.

What is very concerning and extremely alarming is the lack of institutional authority by the University. I'm not here to rip apart Texas tech they are kind of doing that on their own. As a coach, as a teammate is this not a distraction? When do you cut the bait? Sorsby has zero right to play college football again. He has lost that privilege. Set the precedent and move on. The amount of tax payers dollars to hear the case is just exhausting. 

I'm sure it is absolutely eating him alive he can't bet on his neighbors cat right now to make his new kitten more appropriated to the neighborhood.

He is 22 now and supposedly the evidence shows that he has made bets since he came to Texas.

Odds from Kalshi have risen back up to just under 70% bets predicting Sorsby will enter the Supplemental Draft.

But making bets is not the issue here is it? If it was just betting that was the problem then probably 1/3rd of CFB would be in trouble. It's that he bet on his own team while 18-19.

Making any of those bets is an issue and subject to penalty.  Football players betting on any college football game is an NCAA violation; however, betting on your own team, particularly when betting on the under, goes way beyond breaking the basic rule.  Betting on any college sport is also a violation.  Any of these violations can result in suspension and total bans, depending on the severity of the betting.
