Texas Tech 10 Million Dollar Portal Season

Betting on your own team is a lifetime ban if you play in Iowa, guess we'll find out what the punishment is when you play in Texas.
Three players from Iowa selected by Cody Campbell get a lifetime ban. Sorsby is given an extra $3M in NIL from DraftKings and Circa.

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss
 
I know one thing is certain-- the rule won't be enforced like it was against us. You can count on that.

I think you know.

I forget, did the NCAA actually punish us or was that all just the State of Iowa going full try hard?
 
According to ESPN (Dan Wetzel), this is the first time gambling has touched major college sports.

Not sure if it’s just crappy editing, an oversight, or a slight, but I guess it’s nice to not be the only school caught with this situation

Yeah I didn't take it as a slight, that'd be pretty bad considering we're in the same conference. I think that writer either didn't know or forgot about the Dekkers situation. And clearly skipped any research on the topic for this story.

Which is weird because Wetzel is one of the more plugged in guys.

To be fair, this is a WAY bigger story than anything that happened here.

Dekkers wasn't making $5M+ after being the most well thought of guy in the portal. Plus this stuff was in its infancy at that point.

The rules were literally changed because of the Iowa and Iowa State betting scandal. I would argue the Iowa/Iowa State scandal was much larger of a deal if you take into context when it happened.

The only way it’s bigger, IMO, is if Cincy sat on this info and then divulged it only because Sorsbey left them.
