Ole Miss fans probably shouldn’t comment about local judges ruling in favor of QB’s who clearly broke the rules.
This is nowhere near the same thing. Trinidad has only played 2.5 years on the field and simply argued to have his medical redshirt year recognized by the NCAA. The NCAA did not offer any medical evidence as to why they were denying his claim, they made their decision based solely on "we don't believe you," which falls under arbitrary and capricious.
Sorsby was placing bets on his own team and clearly violated NCAA rules.

If I was a non- conference lower level that Tech contacted about coming to Lubbock for a $$ win, I would demand a hefty increase for the trouble. If they normally pay $800,000 then I would call for $5-$10 million. They balk at that, no big deal. Plenty of other P4 schools that need a non conference opponent. If every small school did this, Tech would really second guess what they be done.

Mizzou was the first Big 12 school to openly pine for membership in another conference. Nebraska followed suit and got the invitation your school so desperately wanted. This was before the PAC/B12 South talks and way before the Longhorn Network.

So…the injunction is the end of the story? There’s no appeal from the NCAA? Seems crazy that this is the end all be all. The NCAA is a billion dollar organization and this risks their entire governing power (or what’s left of it). They don’t have any other legs to stand on. Seems like this is the catalyst for the Individual leagues to break away.

NCAA has already filed their notice of intent to appeal.
But in general it's very hard to get something overturned on appeal.

Is that the narrative we are running with now?

He is just making up shite now. That's what 'sips do when the facts don't fit the message.

Why not? Here's Colorado's AD stating Missouri's flirting with the Big 10 as the reason they started looking at the PAC.
https://www.espn.com/blog/ncfnation/post/_/id/41732/missouri-governor-spurred-buffs-move
quote:
In December of 2009, Nixon made the first of several comments in support of Missouri exploring a move.
"This is not something that should be kept on the sports page and treated with the back of the hand," he said. "We have an obligation to make our schools as excellent as they can be."
Speaking explicitly of a move to the Big Ten, he said, "It's worth looking at."
Bohn didn't say which of Nixon's comments got him going, but the governor's most controversial comments came days later.
"I'm not going to say anything bad about the Big 12, but when you compare Oklahoma State to Northwestern, when you compare Texas Tech to Wisconsin, I mean, you begin looking at educational possibilities that are worth looking at," Nixon said.
These statements from Missouri were the first ones of any Big 12 indicating instability. Why should they get a pass?

I think it’s also rich that the Georgia Ad calls for his school to boycott Tech. Like they are full of integrity.
James DeLoach, Jonathon Taylor, Sanders Cummings, Brandon Smith.
Names ring a bell. All Georgia football players that committed CRIMINAL acts but were allowed to keep playing. Plus we all know Georgia has paid players under the table before it was legal. That was against NCAA rules. But let’s boycott a school that hadn’t even played a player yet that was gambling - a legal activity but against the rules.
I don’t gamble and don’t condone gambling when involved. But the hypocrisy on the part of these schools is incredible.

Feel free to provide any sort of article or quote that contradicts what I said.

Would never happen as the almighty dollar talks and all you need is one school to accept it. But I wish it was possible in reality

Now, I don't practice much at all in federal court, but I sort of think the NCAA might still be able to remove this to federal court based upon diversity. I believe the time for doing that has not yet passed, but I could be totally wrong about that.

Reports are that he only bet on Indiana games when he was redshirted there. Never bet on a game he played in. He bet on lots of other stuff but not his games. We will see if this is true. Again, lots of postings with no facts.
From the Associated Press:
"According to agreed-upon stipulated facts included in court documents, Sorsby made at least 2,900 bets totaling more than $30,000 while at Indiana from June 2022 through December 2023. Those included at least 40 bets on the Hoosiers games and players, though he didn’t bet on games in which he played."
I heard he was making prop bets on individual players and team stats in Indiana games. So, as a member of the team with intimate knowledge of their game plans and injury status, you don't think maybe what he did is a little bit wrong?

They approached us, we listened..and declined junior membership, after assurances from BIGXII officials that texa$$ and deloss were gonna cool their heels. Don't rewrite history..Colorado was already gone...and you dipshytes were already griping about not getting the world handed to you money wise. Please stfu about it for future reference...wear your cone of shame with pride...and I cannot wait for the SEC to send you packing...in just 2 years..you've managed to piss off almost everyone with your off the field stuff...

I'm sorry, this is like an injunction from PRISON for killing people. Prison would do irreparable harm to me.

"Greed killed the big 12 and we were leading the charge. frick deloss"
Damn Hookem, I should buy you a beer or a bottle of your preferred drink.
It didn't help that Boren was a patsy with no backbone. He was just trying to secure OU's future, but it was obvious he had no balls.

OMG. Don’t be a drama queen.

Former Alabama baseball coach Brad Bohannon received the longest show cause in NCAA history for one confirmed bet on his team. It should have been a lifetime ban and in affect it is.
Now we have a guy who has 9,000 confirmed bets, many on his team, being allowed to play football and receiving $5 million to do it.
I wonder if we will look back and realize this was the final nail in college sports’ coffin?

B1G never offered membership -- "junior" or otherwise -- to Missouri. You stayed in the Big 12 because that was your only option, until the SEC needed a second team to pair with the Aggies a year later.
I've already posted an article referencing the Colorado AD's statement that Missouri openly begging for B1G membership the end of 2009 is what spooked Colorado to the PAC.
