We have some truly stupid judges in this country. Unelected fools in Podunk USA with too much power.
yes it's a joke but that's all the NCAA is at this point.

I'm curious if players who understand how Sorsby just took a shite on the rules make him look like Joe Theisman's injury in a game. I know I would and wouldn't care about the consequences.

But that's hard to imagine. The whole thing was a transparent farce. How could any educated human being with no conflict of interest take his case seriously? It's totally absurd.

The government has a vested interest in collegiate athletics seeing as they provide an overwhelming amount of funding to the vast majority of these schools.
Lest you forget, these are state-run institutions.

I know people always says "x ruling" or "x occuring" will kill college sports, but this feels like we just crossed the Rubicon.
How in the world are we supposed to accept any outcome of a game knowing that the athletes are now allowed to place bets on their own games?
Every time a QB throws a bad interception, the idea that it was on purpose will creep into your mind... Missed a chip shot FG, was it on purpose? Let a pick slip through your hands, was it on purpose?
This puts the integrity of the game in direct jeopardy.

The last time I asked that question someone actually replied with a Bill Clinton meme saying he never had sexual relations with that woman. Good luck with this.

I know the ncaa does not condone this but this does feel like this opens the door for another structure
Maybe something set up by sec and B1G where everyone agrees on the rules and you have ironclad protections to not allow them to be circumvented by court rulings

In all honesty, what do you think happened with 3 Ole Miss players who signed binding agreements to return to Ole Miss and were enrolled in classes who suddenly entered the portal and immediately signed with LSU?
I'd love to hear how you honestly think that situation played out.

The problem is you have to bind the players, not just the institutions. And to do that, the only real way is through collective bargaining

There are folks here who have said things for so long, that it's actually became reality to them.

He did not bet against his own team - or in any game that he himself played in. He only bet on his Indiana team to win when he was redshirted there. Back then that was kind of a dumb bet.
Cincinnati knew he gambled and said nothing to the NCAA because he was playing for them. The word is that Cincinnati was pissed that he left and signed with Tech so they turned him in then. Cincinnati should have some punishment come their way if this is true.

You might want to read the ncaa rule book if you are actually trying to defend this.

There were bets, from the accounts he was using, on unders for his own teammates.

The NCAA, said in the court filings and in statements, that Cinci did not turn him in and rather it was a sports book that flagged it and reported it to the NCAA.

The court was in Lubbock County but presided over by a long time respectable Ft. Worth judge with no ties in any way to Texas Tech.
The judge originally signed with the case was a Tech grad both undergraduate and law school. He recused himself from the case as was appropriate. This is totally different that the cases with Alabama and Ole Miss. Now those cases were a joke.

I love the Horns and aggys bashing Tech. It shows that they are scared of us. They have done things under the table forever and now everyone can pay players and it's got them scared. Probably true for most of the SEC teams. Coach O admitted to it.
Thank you guys for supporting Tech athletics everytime you fill up your car with gas. Much appreciated!

The sports book reported it to Cincinnati not the NCAA. Cincinnati gave him "counseling" and continued to let him play.
