re: Big 12 might boycott Texas Tech

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.

Its a crime to do what you just said he did. He had insider information. And TT still coddled him and are really going to suffer from this long term. Even if you cut ties today the damage is done. Your school supported a known gambler which is the cardinal sin of sports.

Let's not forget Texas and OU flirting with Larry Scott and the Pac10 (and attempting to bring/force A&M and OSU along for the ride). That was very, very close to reality - and ultimately what set the first wave of big12 defections (Colorado, Nebraska, A&M, Mizzou) in motion.

You have a sequencing issue there baw....

December 2009 Big Ten announced it was exploring expansion.

March 2010 Pinkel whined about Big 12 and praised the Big Ten

May 12, 2010 Missouri governor publicly advocated for Missouri to join the Big Ten.

Don't know the exact date that Nebraska got envious but you can tell from this Stewart Mandel article written June 4, 2010 at SI.com

Texas isn't necessarily looking to flock West -- but it almost certainly would if Nebraska bolts to the Big Ten. (Texas reportedly has little interest in the SEC, mainly for academic reasons.) Of course, we don't yet know whether the Big Ten is serious about the Huskers or whether they'll have to make a decision before the Longhorns make theirs.

---

Exactly one week after that article was published Nebraska officially applied, the next day the Big Ten voted them in, and the next day Nebraska officially accepted.

It was always the Big Ten starting it, y'all expressing interest which got the Huskers motivated that triggered everything. You are unable to pin that on mean evil Texas & OU full stop.

Also if you really think Larry Scott who was a bumbling idiot was the mastermind

So - a Texas judge made his ruling that Sorsby can play for Tech. What is stopping the teams they are playing against from seeking an injunction in their own states to prevent him from playing in their jurisdictions (they have 4 road games outside of Texas)?

In other words, why shouldn't Colorado seek an injunction from a Colorado court (with a judge who has a degree from CU) to prevent Sorsby (an ineligible player per the rules) from playing in Colorado? They also play in Oregon (Oregon State), Ohio (Cinci), and Oklahoma (OSU).

Actually that is a normal court cycle don’t blame them.

The problem is TT gamed the court system knowing full well if they got a judge to grant this now that was the win because of the timing. They knew it would not be heard until after the season. And then it would be dropped because its too late. That was their plan all along. And they knew no judge in Tx would deny it because its election year and football is so big in Tx they could not deny it else risk losing their seat by unhappy fans and money makers.

This is why boycotting TT should happen immediately.

The Big 12 should take the lead on this. It affects the conference more than anyone else. And if they don't, I would be for expanding the boycott to the entire Big 12. Their inaction only enables TT.

HeyTech Bot stay on topic. This is about Tech rostering a known admitted gambler and being ok with breaking the cardinal rule of gambling in sports.

You are trying to deflect constantly because you know 100% TT is screwing up. And you and your bot fans can’t escape it. He bet on his own team. Thats illegal. He has insider info.

Taco Tech managed to unify the entire sports world against them this may never happen again.

We are all just so upset over this....

This is how we actually get college sports back. No one is forcing anyone to accept transfers or pay players. If everyone or 80 percent would refuse and then no schedule anyone who did….we could get college sports back.

Mizzou was offered a spot in the Big 10 but the payouts would have been graduated and were not 100% for a few years.

That's what Mizzou fans say to make themselves feel better about not getting a B1G invitation.

October 6, 2011 / 7:10 AM CDT / CBS Texas

ST. LOUIS (AP) - Missouri is hoping to join the Southeastern Conference but would have preferred an offer from the Big Ten that never came, a university official said Wednesday.

Missouri hoped to join the Big Ten last year but the league instead chose Nebraska. The university official said the Big Ten remains Missouri's top choice but that conference "has no interest."

"That's what's left," the official said, referring to the SEC. The official, who is familiar with school discussions involving conference affiliation, spoke on condition of anonymity because the school has not commented publicly about its intentions.

Good! frick this fricking kid and these fricking judges who don’t understand the rule of law. Also, if it’s going to be like this, then Pete Rose immediately needs to be inducted into the baseball Hall of Fame.
