One Big 12 HC’s opinion on Brendan Sorsby

[Gerry Hamilton]

Talked to a long time coaching connection Saturday.

Word from this person is that there is growing belief by coaches that Sorsby may not play this season - this is not OTF reporting this. Just belief among coaches from a convo.

One Big 12 head coach does not believe Sorby will end up playing this year, for sure.

Big 12 schools presidents and higher ups have made it be known to Brett Yormark that he works for them per this person. 

Will be interesting to follow!

I guess he didn't bet on that....

I’m ready for the clown show of sorsby and tech

One can hope someone steps in and says Sorsby won't play this year, but I'll believe it when I see it. With Texas Tech speaking on July 7 at Big 12 Media Days, things could get interesting—and Joey can't cancel those.

i am so grateful that we’re not in that clown show of a conference right now.

Someone really needs to ask Joey when and how he / Tech became aware of Sorsby’s situation and if the was before the end of spring practices, if Sorsby missed any practices after that.

Joey became aware of Sorsby betting when betting sites reported his betting to legal authorities. Sorsby didn’t volunteer the the betting information.

Yes - he got caught and therefore we can assume inertia would have been the default had that not happened AKA dude would have been betting on upcoming Tech games this season

[Roy Hinojosa]

If that's the case why all this filibustering and bluster from Texas Tech?

[GoHorns1]

Sorsby must NEVER play single snap of college football again.

Should also ask when the gambling addiction diagnosis was made by a medical professional.  If Tech knowingly allowed Sorsby to participate in any team activities (practice, workouts, meetings, etc) before the formal diagnosis they would have knowingly been allowing a player that they knew had violated NCAA guidelines to participate in team activities.  The after the fact diagnosis and later legal ruling wouldn’t protect Tech from those actions, if they did occur.

Lolol I am too. What a joke after all this for him not to play. I hope the big 12 has the cajones to take the hard line. Since the Tech clowns didn’t do it now it’s the wrestling washout that somehow gets to be the grown up in the room.

What?! You don’t have faith in the circus that is the little 12  to do the right thing? (Insert 🙄+sarcasm)

 Soresby jas more baggage than a 747 full of Kardashians and Hiltons. Any franchise looking at QB knows the 1st attribute of a QB is leadeship.  This dude just demonstrated the absolute disregard for team mates and worse his own family.  Mental health is a cop out for bad decisions.
