Why do we need to bring the tortillas into this?! They’re blameless, delicious treats that have been soiled by this Tech mess too. #FreeTheTilla! Also, Sorsby is a turd and Tech are cowards. They look like such fools to get played so hard by this kid. Couldn’t have happened to a better group.

Browns, Cardinals, Jets, Titans off the top of my head.

The usual suspects lol

Titans better not after they took Ward last year!

So is Cody Campbell still "upping the ante" or no...? 

[Roy Hinojosa]

I bet Tech and Campbell would have stood firm if it wasn't an election year. I'm sure all the political strategists were reading the reactions and saw that this was a loser to get behind.

Tech cant buy a win on - or off - the field. Just a massive fail on their part and I love it.

They used to be an entertaining opponent who had Aggie's #, but after we poached Beard, they've been insufferable.

Good, @CJ Vogel has a type and I feared Sorsby was going to be his new Mateer before all this kicked off.

Texas Tech is trash!

I wonder if he will get his promised NIL money 

I’ll LMAO if Cody is out the entire 5-6 million. Would be awesome to see.

This went as bad as it possibly could have for Tech. They incurred the ire of the entire sports world and then lost Sorsby anyway. It was pure hubris on the part of Campbell to think he could pull this off. 

There's a high probability that Sorsby will be denied entry into the supplemental draft or simply that no NFL team wants to take him. Fiasco all the way around.

I lost a lot of respect for Cody Campbell and the rest of the Texas Tech admin responsible for this. I do believe Sorsby’s battles with gambling addiction are real and the young man needs help. What is despicable is how the Tech admin exploited his situation instead of just helping him.

True, if they really wanted to help the guy with his addiction, they would have told him, "Look, you can't play now, but we'll honor your NIL deal and help you out." That's not what they did. They put him in the worst situation by using him to make the entire sports world angry.

Me catching up on this thread 

 

[taxsaver]

late night dump for the "media."

Exhausted all trial baloons and Sorby has to face the music anyways.  And Tech has even more to face.  They overplayed their hand.

LOL

What happened to all of the rhetoric by Tech about merely trying to help the poor young man?  When they feel the heat they let him go?  What a crock.  It was never about helping Sorsby.  It was all about helping Tech.

Yep.

Nothing says helping a players mental health like Tech being a big/key part of having said players name drug through the mud for weeks in hopes of getting eligible, and then being a big/key part of dumping him when Texas Tech had their back against the wall.

So why would a NFL team mess with a player not two months removed from inpatient treatment for compulsive gambling?  

My guess is that a team will gamble on bringing him to camp (inadvertent play one words)and not worry about what transpired on the college level.  It's business.

This almost makes Tech look worse imo after two weeks of holier than thou rhetoric. 

Yep.

Sad part for tech fans - sorsby comes in, poops the bed, takes off, and they have to deal with the stink.
