Because the idea for years has been to fight the NCAA tooth and nail regardless of how wrong you might be. Problem is, they're so far in the wrong here that the general public despises them. This isn't a case of a kid seeking an extra year of eligibility because he was taking care of his sick mom - it's a kid who illegally bet on his own team's football games and is trying to play regardless.
Pretty much.
We grew so accustomed to the adage "NCAA BAD!" that even when they're right, a lot of folks will kneejerk to the opposite position. That mentality is a lot of what caused us to start tumbling down this slope to begin with.
Eventually the only good collegiate sports will be the ones that do not generate any profit at all so athletes can't really demand anything because colleges won't bother. Instead of football, basketball, and baseball titles colleges will brag about having the most rowing or tennis titles.
I mean, they do already, but even more loudly.

Are you aware that 2 Texas football players and 3 athletic staff members were caught gambling in 2025? Only punishment required was to repay the debts.
The NCAA did not contest 1 item in Sorsby’s lawyers brief presented to the court. I think they knew their past actions and court loses were against them.
The court order also says that no entity can punish Tech for following the order. The entity will likely lose a lawsuit brought against for going against the court order.

No response. Lots of throwing stuff out here on these boards with no facts to back them up.

I know this, as sure as I'm white and sitting here typing, that he will be the most targeted QB by defenses in football. He will be super fortunate to make it half through the season without being sidelined with season ending inuries.

On their own games?

They are too busy congratulating themselves for winning one and getting one over on the ncaa.
They haven't stopped to ask themselves if it's worth it in the long run. Destroy an AD for a guy who won't win them a title.
By the time they realize it, it will be too late. Good luck finding a conference when expansion happens again.

of course not. Tech fans are grasping at straws. While I do think both players should have been removed from the team, it's not even close to the same thing.
Texas athletic department documents self-reported the violations as follows:The first player: Placed wagers but was deemed ineligible, reinstated by the NCAA, and required to donate his winnings to charity.The second player: Racked up roughly $9,600 in wagers (including bets on Texas basketball teams). He ultimately left the university and stopped his college football career.
ncaa deemed him eligible, not Texas. The other was removed from the team, as he should have been.
To assume these are the same thing is lmao funny. The attempt is pathetic.
Unless this tech tard can show us proof that they bet on their own team? I'll wait patiently.

So you admit Texas got special treatment. We all know the NCAA treats schools differently. Texas, Alabama, Georgia, OU and others are treated differently than Miss St., Missouri, Tech, etc.

again, you are trying to equate a football player betting on basketball with a football player betting the under on his own team. The attempt is laughable and makes you look pathetic.
Then again, being a tech fan, I'm not sure that's anything new for you so carry on.
unless, again, you can prove they bet on longhorn football? I'm still waiting, moron.

NCAA rules are you cannot bet on any team at your school. But you get special treatment.

The Big 12 has a number of remedies for punishing the Red Raiders. Which one will they choose if any?
The Big 12 is not a marquee league right now and Tech is now one of their leading programs. It hurts their attempts to be seen at a true power conference if they eliminated the team with the best shot of breaking through.
Cody is like oligarch, he thinks he smarter than everyone else and should make all the decisions.

since you struggle with reading comprehension I'll try to make this clear for you.
The player who bet on longhorn basketball was removed from the team. The other one, who did not bet on horn sports, was reinstated by the ncaa.
This really isn't difficult....for non-tech fans, that is.

Are you aware the court order states Tech cannot be punished for following the court order. Any entity that does will lose in court.
BTW, Tech immediately ruled him ineligible. Sorsby brought the suit challenging the NCAA and won in large part because of their uneven treatment in cases like this.

Unlike this functional retard tech fan that's here trying to defend this, most tech fans want him removed from the team but they are at the mercy of the billionaire who's making the decisions for them.
If anyone understands the damage a bunch of egotistical billionaires can do, it's a Longhorn.

omg you truly are retarded. I was joking before.
The ruling only prevents the Ncaa from banning him. It does not force Tech to play him. Stop trying to play the victim.
Tech has the power to do the right thing here.

Name calling is so middle school. Can’t win an argument so you just start name calling. Typical ut.

I see you can't refute anything I said. Also typical.
If you don't understand the ruling, I think functionally retarded is a pretty accurate statement.
I'm still waiting on you to provide proof that Texas played a player that bet on horn sports. if I "lost" the argument, then surely you have that proof. Just saying you won an argument is not actually winning an argument.
You aren't doing much to refute my "retarded" label, are you?

You do know that Sorsby has not bet on Tech sports nor even played a down for Tech.
Again, name calling is really juvenile. Your ut education has served you well.
