There you go deflecting again. Change the topic to something else besides Sorsby and TT rostering a gambler.

Just answer the simple question Do you think Tech should have cut bait with him once they knew everything?

Again OU, you are in no position to make moral statements about what Tech should do. The lawsuit was Sorsby’s. Has he put Tech in a bad position. Absolutely.
Joe Mixon says hello. An actual criminal OU went to great lengths to keep him on the field.

I don’t know if Sorsby would sue Tech if they drop him. He has a contract. Maybe it’s unenforceable. Again he hasn’t even played a down for Tech. Everyone has convicted Tech and no one knows the final outcome yet. Personally I hope he loses the appeal. Makes it easier for Tech to figure all of this out. And don’t go say what they should do because no SEC school has followed the NCAA guidelines in years past - been paying players for years. Selective outrage.

Here’s the one problem I have with what you keep saying, in this particular situation there’s no Gray area no nuance it’s black-and-white if you bet on sports and you bet on a team you’re playing on you’re gone, you’re out. You wanna keep lumping it in with other things, but it’s not like the other things..

gain, Tech didn’t not know of his gambling when they signed him. They ruled him ineligible when they found out. Asked for an appeal which is pretty standard. Doesn’t hurt to ask. Sorsby is the one who lawyered up (a really good lawyer) and took this to court. He has never even played a game at Tech. Maybe never will but all these postings like people know the facts are a joke. Can’t make up your own facts but people do on this board.


Taking your analysis on face value, Tech should have revoked his scholarship and admission to the team.Tech should have taken the high moral ground not the path of least resistance.

Prohibet informed Cincy last August before the season about Sorsby’s betting according to reports. USA Today reported that Cincy was informed in August 2025 of his betting. Cincy always said no comment when asked about it. Now they say they had no knowledge. CYA. They knew and played him anyway. There is now some speculation that Cincy will get punishment for playing him and covering up the gambling. Lot more of this story to come out before it’s over.
Tech did not know. I won’t play the victim because that‘s weak. We will see how it all plays out.
BTW, supporting him doesn’t mean they will play him. We will have to wait and see.

im sure tech would have just cut him if they werent already paying him millions of dollars. im not sure what the backup plan was if he got hurt or if they didnt land the kid in the first place. lane took 4qbs out of the portal just in case . maybe tech should have had a backup plan.

But, if he's on the team, they will certainly pay him. So...

Lots of speculation but no facts. He hasn’t even played a down for Tech. Maybe never will. If he doesn’t I’m sure all of the experts on here will come back praising Tech. Yeah right. Again lots of talk with little if any facts. And lots of selective outrage.

Tech will be fine with or without Sorsby. 2 good QBs on the roster now.

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.

Funny

Tech clearly does not think that one. Everything Sorsby has done since being caught has been directed by Tech.

And you know this how? Again, no facts just posting about stuff you don’t know anything about.

Really

Sure bud, they gave him 5 mil and you have the nerve to state that. You know, you sound like a lawyer.

Yeah sure, they are not directing the degenerative gambler at all.

Again, tell me you know Tech is directing this. People you’ve talked to. Sources you’ve read. What? No you are just making stuff up.
