Big XII options for sanctioning Texas Tech

They seriously think they're the next Notre Dame.

That's some next level delusion.

They are just some hillbilly that won the lottery and is going to blow it all on lifted trucks, guns, and meth.

What happens if their sugar daddy gets bored of this, stops being a sugar daddy, and just leaves them high and dry. He can’t be thrilled with how the last month has gone.

And TT is totally dependent on this one booster for sustainability. What if they start making large scale investments in facilities on par with the other big dogs? It’s could end really ugly for them.

But on a related note, I wish ISU had a sugar daddy and I bet you wish Iowa did too.
 
Reddit is pretty unanimously unified against Tech on this one, and 80% of the Tech fans on there cant believe what their school is doing. Maybe Cody Campbell is bringing us the unity we were all looking for? :jimlad:

Texas Tech clamoring to get out of the Big 12. Fine, go. Still remember them bashing the Big 12 in 2010-2011 when Texas, Texas Tech, Oklahoma, and Oklahoma State were supposed to go to the PAC-12.

Well I mean the state of Utah does have twice as many Big 12 members as the state of Iowa. But I digress.

I think the original response was probably to the Utes, pretty sure they are still waiting to their invite to the B1G.

So Tech agreed to pay Sorsby $5 million, having no other competent healthy quarterbacks on their roster, and hinged their CFP bid on being able to bluff their way through KNOWN PUBLICLY REPORTED gambling allegations by the player that are a clear violation of NCAA rules and history by making a bankshot claim that, because the NCAA had cited online gambling as a source of mental health concern for athletes, meant that they couldn't suspend him if doing so hurt the player's feelings?

And then, the moment the conference pushes back a little on Tech themselves the player declares, "My bad!" and heads to the supplemental draft.

This was always the most likely option, and honestly should have been the only option. I'll be curious to see how much Texas Tech tries to desperately walk everything back, or if they dig their heels in and say they were right the whole time

They’ll probably act all noble, saying they felt like they needed to support their student athlete while the legal process was playing out and he made a decision for himself on what was best for his future. Then hope it all dies down and gets buried by some other story as soon a possible.

They will gaslight and say "We never had plans to play him."

I couldn’t help but think today about the can of worms this line of thinking would open, with athletes filing lawsuits against their schools because of the immediate mental harm caused to the athlete by not having him in the starting lineup
