Do you think Tech would pass on Leavitt if they knew about the gambling?
Leavitt wanted to come play at Tech and collect the money (greater than everyone else and familiar with Tech and facilities). Tech was blind sided by all of this as much as anyone.

If the Big 12 hypothetically didn't want that smoke, couldn't they stop him from playing?

Probably. Other conferences have suspended players before

Like the SEC should rule Chambliss ineligible. That ruling went against the NCAA ruling.

I just don’t understand why NCAA has to allow this. If I’m the committee or the NCAA any game he plays in should be forfeited or has zero implications on the playoffs.
It’s literally the NCAA’s playoff system. Let him play but rule every game he plays in against Tech.
So every person who bets on his team that’s on the bench can say oh I have a mental health condition, let me go to two weeks of rehab and be fine.

The gambling story hadn't come out yet when Leavitt was in the portal. So, yes, not only do I believe they knew, but the only reason Sorsby announced he was going into rehab is because he knew he knew the story was going to come out and he wanted to get ahead of it.

The Sorsby and Chambliss situations aren't remotely comparable

Gosh, the entire SEC would be ineligible.

Knowingly gambling and doing something against the rules is a lot different than not knowing your former school didn’t file for a medical redshirt when they should have and you believed they did.
Sure this helps Tech in the short term but long term we are giving every athlete in every sport a reason to gamble and still get out of it by claiming mental health reasons

So exactly what do you think happened?

If you think a fight over what documents constitute enough for a medical redshirt (which has been applied inconsistently by the NCAA for years) and for a kid which would be eligible under the expected 5 for 5 rules v. Gambling on your own team and directly puting the integrity of the sport at risk I have no idea what to tell you other than you want to bury your head in the sand.

is a temporary injunction similar to getting out on bond until trial?

Apparently, several Ole Miss players weren't happy with those supposed NIL offer sheet leaks.
Isn't Princewill the only guy who actually got a buyout?

You just proved my point that Tech didn’t know when they signed him. They could easily had Leavitt but passed for Sorsby.
I’m sure he did go into rehab when it was whispered that the gambling was going to come out. Maybe he finally realized that he had a problem or just wanted to get ahead of the legal stuff.
Do you honestly think Tech would commit $5 million with the chance they could lose him? Get real.

So he plays and then NCAA gets another hearing after the season and say that judge overrules the injunction. Does Tech forfeit those wins? They’ll likely be in the playoffs with their cake schedule, that’ll be awkward

These judges will burn in hell. It is an act against justice itself. And God himself.
From the Texas Code of Judicial Conduct:
Canon 3B(2) — Faithful to law, not pressure or preference
“A judge should be faithful to the law and shall maintain professional competence in it, including by meeting all judicial-education requirements set forth in governing statutes or rules. A judge shall not be swayed by partisan interests, public clamor, or fear of criticism.”

Dottery is the only one who entered the portal after that occured. And still so, how would he immediately know LSU has a spot for him if he entered and they would pay him what he wanted? He entered and essentially immediately committed.
Even if we assume that's true, the still doesn't explain the others, all of who had signed agreements and were enrolled in classes.
