Lubbock Judge Grants Injunction for Brendan Sorsby

I don't think Tech understands what they just did by supporting the injunction.

They've turned every other athletic department against them. Good luck scheduling games. They've likely accelerated the departure of the SEC and Big 10 from the NCAA. Wouldn't surprise me if the ACC tried to join them. Once that happens, the CFP won't run through the NCAA and the Big 12 will be excluded. I'm sure the other Big 12 members love that thought. Kiss that TV money goodbye.

This is classic.  Literally, the criminal gets to determine the penalty for the actions which he has admitted are in violation of NCAA rules and state laws.  The fox is literally running the hen house.

This is super odd. I am not shocked that the court issued the injunction due to irreparable harm which was always a possibility whether you agree with it or not, but then the court appears to be "standing in" for the NCAA and rules on how the punishment should be assessed. This is quite different from saying the NCAA doesn't have the authority to do something (like regulating paying players because it violates other laws).

"Bet on yourself" -Sorsby.....haha

I was on Twitter earlier and most posts were about the TT fiasco.  Hard to find other material.  A few people had skewed views and seemed to think that everyone was piling on Sorsby himself.  I don't think that is true and I think most people think Sorsby needs help but still should be punished and they think that what Tech administrators, coaches, and boosters have done, along with the judge, is beyond the pale.

It can’t be. I don’t have that kind of luck.

Satire account.

Saw this on Twitter/X.  Assume it is true regarding the Judge, but not sure.  Tarrant County is also where Campbell lives.

 

"The judge's son in law is a Tech alum. His daughter lives in Lubbock. Also, he worked in Tarrant County, Texas… which is 30 mins away from Cedar Hill high school, where Tech’s coach Joey McGuire won 3 state championships and was a coaching legend."

Totally devoid of critical thinking skills.  Should not be on bench.

It will be interesting to see if all the AD's, Presidents, coaches, etc. follow through on all the posturing that has gone on since the decision came down. Color me jaded, but in the social media world we now live in, everyone wants to throw out their statements, but little actually happens in reality. I would LOVE to see teams not schedule Tech and boycott them in all sports but that takes administrators with some guts and I am skeptical. It will be interesting to see this play out, but in the era of no rules, I feel it's going to be a lot of smoke and no fire.

Yet the coward that he is Yormark is not going to do anything because the short term payout I’m for viewers eyes is too great to pass up WWE style management.

I agree with you for the most part on this. But isn't Yormark's position, like any conference commissioner role, an elected position by the teams in the conference? If that's the case, and all but one school are unhappy with how he handles this situation, you would think there would at least be a mechanism for the schools to push for a change. It's hard to imagine a commissioner keeping a $4 million-a-year job if the overwhelming majority of the conference believes he's mishandling a major issue.

I too don’t have much sympathy for Yormark, but I don’t think this is something he can ignore. I also think if the Big 12 wants to be treated as a legitimate conference, Yormark will be forced to do something here.

I really hope you’re right! Some adult needs to stand up and squash this once and for all. If the NCAA and big 12 team up and preemptively ban them from post season consideration or profit sharing if Sorsby plays there’s nothing the courts can do to force them to allow them to participate. Any money will be tied up long enough that you can deal with that in court. Basically, saying “hey we’re not going to stop him from playing. If he does then we’re not going to allow participation in events and things we control. You’re choice.”
