Betting on your own team is an NCAA violation, not automatically a federal crime. The feds only step in when there’s game‑fixing or fraud, and nothing in Sorsby’s case hits that threshold.

Betting against your own team with insider information may constitute fraud. We don’t know if he did that, but we do know he took the under twice. Law enforcement should be looking at that. Also moving large sums of money to other people with the goal of evading law enforcement could be a financial crime.

So I'm not on Twitter, but for those of you who are: is Adam Loewy actually siding with Sorsby in this case?

As far as I can tell, he is siding with Sorsby.

Do you think there’s any chance that players will take this matter into their own hands and try to injure him?

[Coop2395]

Wonder why he couldn’t say any of this to Cody or Joey when they were on? 

[Sanka Decaf]

Every away game for Sorsby will be an extremely hostile environment.  That sounds like something that will help him through his gambling and anxiety addictions.

At the end of the day, Campbell can have his cake and eat it too. He gets his quarterback (at what cost? I don't know) and will have everyone rushing to get this bill passed in Congress. They knew this was going to blow up, and they sacrificed everyone's integrity to do so.

Yes and it’s metastasized such that college sports as we know it has moved to hospice and we’re waiting for the end.

Good post, but you’re still blending NCAA rules with federal law. Betting on your own team is an NCAA issue, not a federal case. You only get federal heat with actual game‑fixing, fraud, or money laundering - none of which apply here. Taking the under twice isn’t a crime, it’s just bad gambling.

They can celebrate now, but what a myopic view and how blind they are to the impact on sports in general. Ultimately, I truly believe the right thing will be done and he will be ineligible. Hopefully some adult can step in and end this chaos.

If he really is able to get a multi-year addiction under complete control after a few weeks, was it really an addiction in the first place?  Just amazing that it's viewed as helpful to put this young man back into the sports environment that he bet on. 

Maybe the NCAA needs to say they will give him one more year of eligibility NEXT year if he wins the appeal, but he sits out this year to get more assistance with the addiction.  

Not something anyone thought of before because it seemed like a slam dunk win for the NCAA.

This has been my thought process through this whole thing. Tech and the Sorsby camp are making a complete mockery of addiction and recovery. It's disgusting to see the enabling that is happening to someone that very likely does have an addiction and is not getting the actual help and cold hard honesty he needs in order to truly deal with it and start true recovery.

He losing his hair(what's left of) fast. Besides, If even Josh Pate - the most neutral, non‑confrontational guy in college football media - won’t defend Tech, you know it’s bad. When he basically shrugs and says ‘yeah, that’s on y’all,’ the conversation is over

Yeah, okay Josh Pate. I don’t remember you holding Joey’s feet to the fire when you interviewed him last week, but I do remember you giving him a huge platform to trash Texas. So spare us the dramatics.

It may be a Pyrrhic victory. When the SEC and Big 10 eventually break away from the ncaa and form super leagues, there won’t be too many additional spots available. Tech might be inadvertently sealing their own fate with this crap. Does anyone actually think that Texas (or A&M for that matter) is gonna go to bat for the cockroaches to join their league?

Exactly right! The sad thing is Tech had the chance to truly set themselves as a leader and example. If they kicked him off the team, accept the NCAA ruling, support him in his recovery, go play, and win with the talent they do have their they shining example of how to handle a situation they inherited. Plus Codeman looks like the moral voice of boosters. Instead, this.

So we should be able to throw around as much nil as we want, but Texas won't do that because its Texas. They go by the book 🙄

Can Sorsby actually prove his innocence, though??   🤔
