Haha B12 is owned by a bunch of VCs now and they aren’t letting anyone off the hook vs their recent flagship program. I wonder how many tortillas they slid under the table to the judge before making that ruling?

I feel like lots of that sort of talk is empty threats. However, I could see ADs refusing to play this Texas Tech team.



The irony of a Vol fan complaining about state court judges overruling NCAA decisions is not lost on us.

And it was your boneheaded school who threw a hissy fit and said they would not play OU football in bedlam any longer. That cost your school mega dollars. But at least you got your “revenge”.


So, so not true.

OU left. OSU already had all upcoming non-conference games contracted. OSU would have had to BUY out those contracts to play Bedlam. OU gets the SEC money but then wants OSU to foot the bill to play Bedlam.

Georgia athletic director Josh Brooks forbid his school's teams, in a memo to staff, from playing Texas Tech, as per the document obtained by ESPN

Good. No way they could replace all those games. As an outcast they'd be lucky to play 5-6 games which would keep them out of the playoffs.

You done messed up, TT

Tech got screwed on this one.

Sign the guy, then find out about the gambling nonsense by butthurt former school.

Be screwed without a quarterback.

Sorsby sues for his own sake and is ruled eligible. Tech needs a quarterback, and here we are.

Now everyone is blaming Tech for the whole situation. Maybe they don't want to sacrifice a whole season and want to be competitive? Dont want to screw all the other players that committed? God forbid.

Gonna be interesting if they are matched in the postseason.. or any other team that adopts this plan.. I love the idea of it though.. just need all teams to get on board.

Tech probably should have done a better job with due diligence before signing a guy to a $6mil+ contract...

So they should know all the bookies or otherwise somehow just find out about it?

If they knew they probably would not have signed the deal and got someone else.

Are you fricking tone deaf?

Once TT found out about gambling all you had to do is dismiss him from the football program. Offer him some help but don’t let him be part of team.

Instead you are trying to blame everyone else. So what you don’t have a starting QB thats how it works on the portal risk you took. No different than a key player hurt before season. It speaks to how awful you develop players of you don’t have another QB.

Take your lumps and you will be better long term. But right now your school is hated by every other school in the country. All you had to do is cut him and wipe your hands of the gambler. But you didn’t because winning is more important than the sanctity of the sport. Screw TT for not cutting him and creating this shitstorm

I can’t believe you are even trying to play victim here my gawd your fanbase and school will stoop to new lows to justify a gambler.

Read the room!!

You are making an invalid assumption about what "my school" is.

These are not the days where all a season will cost is some scholarships and some pride. There are serious dollars being paid now every season and results are expected.

Of course winning matters. You can blame NIL for this directly.

This a longhorn psyop. Evidence that Campbell and Co. were proving way too succesful in grabbing talent.

Classic horn approach.

Yes. We persuaded Sorsby to gamble at Indiana knowing that one day he would end up at Texas Tech, and then we could stop Campbell dead in his tracks.

Busted.

Nope

This all came about bc Sorsby or Tech would not pay back money to Cincinnati. But hey, apparently Tech and Sorsby are just victims by some geniuses on here.
