re: Every Sorsby mistake on the field will be questioned

So you guys actually believe no player is betting. Out of thousands of college football players yoy don’t think it’s happening? You guys are lemmings and being played for suckers.
I am sure that other players are betting, which is exactly why you have to come down hard on the ones that get caught. It’s such a difficult behavior to monitor that the punishment needs to be severe to be an effective deterrent.

re: What is the solution for college sports?
Posted by Crowknowsbest on 6/9/26 at 7:39 am to Purple Spoon
The more the current situation unravels, the more convinced I am that there is no healthy way for what are now pro sports and the universities they are tied to to coexist.
The “best” option I can come up with, in crude terms, is that some new league entity is created with an anti-trust exemption from Congress, and the schools sell their football assets to that new entity, possibly with some kind of long term licensing agreement for branding purposes. Men’s basketball is trickier because it has less of its “own” facilities and infrastructure at most schools and would therefore be harder to divest. On the other hand, the NBA already has a development league, so maybe that can just be expanded with college basketball staying intact in a revised form.
All remaining college sports shift to a D3, non-scholarship model.
This would be a drastic change obviously, and I don’t expect that any college admins would go along without being legally forced to.

You don’t understand why players betting on their sports is bad?

No player involved played another down for UGA.
ETA: that also doesn’t have anything to do with this case, whatsoever. I know you’re pro NIL and all that, but I’m confused why you would stake out a position in favor of this idiot.

Is only agreeing to play by the rules all these schools, including TT, agreed to collusion?
TT is going to be playing a clearly ineligible player. Why would other league schools be forced into transparently illegitimate competition?

I disagree. This is a clear cut issue in the NCAA’s favor. Prior unrelated court verdicts and mismanagement shouldn’t have any bearing on this case.

Definitive proof that financial success is not necessarily tied to intellectual competence or character. Imagine being an alum of the school with that guy leading the freaking board.

Texas Tech booster + board chair Cody Campbell's statement to @On3 on injunction: "This unfortunate situation is the outcome of a broken system. I’m doing everything I can to fix it, but until there is a permanent solution, Texas Tech and its student athletes have to do the best they can to navigate and compete amid the chaos that exists in the reality of the world we live in."
I would like to assure Cody Campbell that Texas Tech does not have to do this to compete. His hypocrisy would embarrass even the most morally repugnant politician.

It’s wild that apparently the decision-makers at TT are on board with this. Any grown up with an ounce of foresight could see that this is not going to benefit them beyond the next 8 months or so.
There is also the part where this shows a complete lack of character, backbone, or general perspective on their part, but that appears to be too much to ask of anyone involved in college sports these days.

Another path could be for other schools to refuse to play Texas Tech. Courts can’t force them to play.

NCAA and CFP basically have to go to the mat on this issue. CFP would get sued I’m sure, but I think they have to force that fight.

The almighty dollar is king. If these corporations can save some money by building a bland box instead of a building with a little character by removing anything not crucial to the function of the building, they will do it every time.
This cuts both ways though. If consumers/renters valued the architectural details and were willing to pay the higher rents required to finance the higher costs, more beautiful structures would be built.

I’m just replying to pieces of the conversation that I don’t agree with. I suppose my overall opinion is that I agree that Kirby has had great success evaluating lower rated players but have my doubts that relying on finding diamonds in the rough is likely to result in maintaining results anything like the last decade.
That’s not even a criticism of Kirby. It takes money to chase the players we used to get, and I’m not contributing so don’t really have any standing to say we should be doing better.
