Texas Tech 10 Million Dollar Portal Season

I carry the opinion that at this point, NCAA should threaten to go home. Make an announcement that says a year from now, the NCAA is disbanding all sports and all student support systems at all divisional levels due to being legally-unable to provide an integrity-based system of athletics. Put a date on it and loudly proclaim it.

States will then have dozens of very angry colleges breathing down their government officials' necks to fix the sports systems they depend on for money, advertising, recruitment, enrollment, community investment and involvement, etc. It's not all in a waste of money in a vacuum (if it was, nobody would do it). It all serves various purposes to the schools and their communities, so... NCAA should threaten to kill it all overnight and force government to finally take action one way or another.

Agree. If the players won't come to the table as a union, we need a lockout to force them to form one.

They (the NCAA) needs to just put out a nationwide memo that reads

"In light of our member institutions who voluntarily joined the NCAA not wanting to abide by the rules they agreed to when they voluntarily joined the organization, effective immediately the NCAA will not be enforcing ANY of the rules the member institutions voluntarily agreed to."

I guarantee something would be done within a month of that statement.

I have very little interest in the upcoming college football season. I'll watch Iowa State play when I can, but will not go out of my way to. Last season I may have watched 5 or 6 total non-ISU games. This season, I will almost certainly not watch a single other college football game. If you would have told me 5 years ago this is how I would feel about college football I would have told you that you were crazy.

So? If I had to do something immoral to keep my job, I would quit in a heartbeat. Or get fired. I wouldn’t stay. It used to be college presidents took stands for the common good.

Sure. Just like all the Blue Blood school presidents who paid their players under the table for the last 75 years all kept resigning . Year after year after year after year.......

I'd be happy to go back to $50k under the table payments compared to this multimillion dollar BS

Can we go a day without something stupid happening in this sport?

Nope

Sign of the times

Steven Leath would like to invite you to take a joyride with him on the ISU airplane

Apparently the judge figured that Sorsby living in Lubbock was punishment enough.

 

[ScottyP]

Doesn't this set a horrible precedent?

 

[clonehenge]

Guarantee douchebag Cody Campbell paid for his legal team

 

[ZorkClone]

Since the lawsuit was filed by Sorsby and the injunction protects Sorsby, I wonder if the NCAA could just give TTU the death penalty after the season if Sorsby plays.

And and TT fan as a Judge

So is this a done deal or can/will NCAA appeal it? Surprised it is allowed to be appealed in Texas. Actually not surprised, but stupid rule

 

[ScottyP]

Can the Big 12 suspend Soresby?

 

[WIBadger]

I am hoping every opposing fanbase chants “Cheaters” every time this known sleazeball takes the field. He knew what he was doing - hope every OL on his team does the toreador move and lets him get crushed by the defense. He is untrustworthy and a liar. He plays for himself and they better watch their backs. His loyalty is not to them or TTU. That coach should be fired for allowing him on the team. What a disgrace to the Big XII!

I don’t think you’ll see that as much, but I think when he screws up/has a bad game you’ll have opposing fans thank him for betting against his own team and some Texas Tech fans accusing him of betting against his team.

Sure they can, probably won't go to court till after the season so.....

Can’t wait to see this.

I'm curious what Soresby's gambling treatment/rehab looked like. Spend two weeks at a resort and listen to a lecture for an hour?
