Texas Tech 10 Million Dollar Portal Season

This is the stuff that pisses me off.

Sorsby VOLUNTARILY signed up to play football under the NCAA's rules. He then violates those rules and gets punished. Doesn't like the punishment (even though the punishment was spelled out) and sues them.

Courts need to throw this **** out.

I can't sue a race sanctioning body that puts on a race I voluntarily attend because I don't like their rules and how they enforce them.

Not with that attitude.

But his mental health is in jeopardy if he doesn't play.

"If I cannot practice with the team, it will be severely detrimental to my mental health and my development as an athlete," Sorsby said in an included affidavit. "Without access to coaching, teammates, and on-field repetitions, I cannot develop the chemistry and skills necessary to start at quarterback in the 2026 season -- and each additional day away compounds that harm. These developmental opportunities cannot be replaced or replicated."

Such BS. He should have worried about his mental health instead of gambling then.

And at what point does he hold himself accountable for his own decisions?

I read one article saying he gambled in high school by driving to a casino in Oklahoma.

Willingly traveling to Oklahoma should be grounds to lose any leniency.

 

[Kinch]

He says he wanted to get close to his Indiana teammates by betting on them. Was he trying to get close to people on the Romanian Soccer league and hot dog eating contests? He blew his NIL money on THAT?

Michigan State probably not the only athletic department that gets paid to promote sports gambling, but I came across this:

‘Caesarization’ of MSU athletics: Secret deal promotes online gambling - City Pulse

In September 2021, 18 months into the COVID pandemic, Michigan State University’s athletic program faced dwindling coffers. A USA Today public records request found the department had lost …

I rate this an 8 out of 10 on the train wreck scale.

I don’t think they’d lose this case if Tech ended up suing, but you can basically claim any rule the NCAA imposes is an illegal restriction of an athlete’s right to participate in and-of be compensated for participating in a university organization so long as the university or state hasn’t barred him or her from doing so. That’s why the NCAA is almost completely neutered

There’s tons of precedent on betting on sports by athletes and suspensions holding up. Just be lucky he isn’t getting charged with a crime under RICO

I don't agree with the "illegal restriction argument".

Playing an NCAA sport isn't a right. These guys act like playing X sport under the NCAA is their right.

There are tons of organizations out there that restrict their participants rights - when you VOLUNTARILY agree to play by the organizations rules you shouldn't get to sue because you don't like the rules you voluntarily signed up to play under.

Let him practice all he wants, as long as he doesn't play in games. I'm fine with TT paying him a few million to be the practice squad QB.

I still hope that Cincy wins their lawsuit against him about the NIL money they claim he contractually owes them for leaving. It's time for someone to be made an example of to start putting in some guard rails on a broken system. If you signed a 2 year deal then honor it.

At this point Sorsby may as well enter the NFL supplemental draft. I'm not sure where he would go in next year's draft but if D1 college football is off the table for this season may as well get a head start on your pro career I guess. Can't imagine all this stuff is helping his draft stock if he sits out a year or goes and plays for a lower division program that will take on the baggage that has.

I bet he plays.

I also bet he has an unexplainable fumble in a crucial moment of a "big game".

I don't love Sark/Texas but the schedule is pretty damn soft:

Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't Texas barely above .500 the last 5 or 6 years they played in the Big XII?

Wont happen at this point, but I love they're publically putting the pressure on Texas with this.
