Except to offer his teammates a large sum of money to take some plays off.

Gambling is the one thing that truly threatens the sport. If you can bet on the outcome, it is easy to just tank a few plays and win tons of money.

I hate that I have to agree with you on anything. Alas here we are. You are 100% correct.

It's hilarious watching people act like he's a murderer when every team in the SEC has players gambling.
Boutte on LSU anyone? Should he be banned from the NFL for gambling in college?

No, you inferred without actual basis. My point is college football has no integrity left to ruin.

YES Boutte should be banned from college football for the rest of his life. He should then be allowed to remake his image and continue into the nfl. If he fricks up again he should be banned from that.

wrong he bet on his own team with first hand knowledge of who was hurt and wasn’t …. epic fricking fail .

If I was a Texas Tech graduate I would be flooding the AD and President’s office with letters letting them know the shame I feel as a TT alumnus. I don’t keep up with or even know much about the Big XII schools, but I had no idea that Texas Tech was such a slimy bunch. The response from the AD and (lack of) response from the President of the school is flat out embarrassing. They risk the integrity of the entire sport by keeping that kid playing. He committed the unpardonable sin in sports. He bet on his own team. No way he should play one more down of football ever.
This may be the straw that sends the B1G and the SEC and others to form their own super conference and leave the rest behind, and there is no way Texas Tech would get an invitation. What a bunch of scumbags.

You think LSU fans are supporting Texas Tech
If one LSU poster says they support TT then the whole fanbase must support TT. It's the way of the rant.

One random dude isn't worth dragging the university thru the mud. It's such a beta move.

I have never in my entire life heard of an athlete getting caught betting on his team’s games and not be banned for it. Maybe it’s happened, but in any sport at any level, I’ve never heard of it.

Sorsby bet on games he wasn't playing in, and had no power to influence outcome.
But, he did place 40 bets on the team he played for. I understand that athletes are only presented information once per year...and the language might be a little vague...such as:
"By-Law 10.3:
Student-athletes, Conference staff members, Athletics staff members and Non-athletics staff members who have athletics responsibilities may not:
o Provide information to individuals involved in organized gambling activities concerning intercollegiate competition;
o Solicit a bet on any intercollegiate team;
o Accept a bet on any team representing the institution;
o Solicit or accept a bet on any intercollegiate competition for any item (e.g., cash, shirt, dinner) that has a tangible value; or
o Participate in any gambling activity that involves intercollegiate athletics or professional athletics, through a bookmaker, parlay card or any other method employed by organized gambling."
and
"[b]Penalty for “point shaving” and/or betting on any team from your institution: Permanent loss of ALL remaining eligibility in ALL sports
One can see how easily someone could be confused by such vague language.

He bet the under in total yards for the QB on his own team. He had the power to influence that outcome. He could give info about his team prep and strategy and audibles to the opposing team.

You did realize that I was quoting the OP, and giving information that said it wasn't kosher...right?
