They don't really need to do much at all. It doesn't matter to their fans if opposing fans are mad that Sorsby plays. All they care about as a program is winning games. Fans will show up and nothing bad will happen so long as that's the case.
I think you also find a subset of opposing fans who aren't even mad at Tech for playing within the (failed) rule framework put in front of them, they're just mad at the NCAA and/or government instead.
A day after the guy got the injunction they're going to feel this way?There is a way out. I don't know what the proper terminology would be, but they could keep Sorsby on the team and list him as "injured and unable to compete for the season" or some such thing. He continues to get treatment for his gambling addiction at TT's expense, he could continue to train at TT, and they might even have to pay him his NIL to prevent getting sued by him. But he never plays in a game.
I would guess that TT doesn't want to spend a bunch of money on Sorsby if he can't play, but it could be a way to repair the gigantic craphole rift that they have created between themselves and the rest of the teams, if they actually care about the rift.
Ooooo maybe put a bet on if he gets injured or not.No. I'd play them and put a bounty on him. Injure him and get $250k.
Yeah, my assumption is this will all but guarantee a super league consisting of only the Big Ten and the SEC if this drags on much longer without a decisive move by the Big 12. I could see them trying it for football and men's/women's basketball. They won't need the NCAA, except for the Olympic sports.Easy for the Big 10 to pile on a Big 12 school (and I have no problems with them taking this stance). But pretty hypocritical for them to go silent on whether they would schedule Tennessee and Vanderbilt for basically the same thing.

They've always wanted to be UT....now they have Cody Campbell to pay for their relevance.Listening to a tech podcast. They sound as arrogant as UT fans.
Listened to an unbiased Tech/CFB reporter earlier today and he stated that TT officials were surprised by the judge's ruling yesterday and now they're in a PR nightmare.Listening to a tech podcast. They sound as arrogant as UT fans.
They are surprised by a ruling in a lawsuit that they helped to facilitate? Yeah sure…Listened to an unbiased Tech/CFB reporter earlier today and he stated that TT officials were surprised by the judge's ruling yesterday and now they're in a PR nightmare.
You are implying there’s an expectation of every lawsuit ruling in favor of plaintiffThey are surprised by a ruling in a lawsuit that they helped to facilitate? Yeah sure…
I mean, he either doesn't play and we continue the death by 1000 paper cuts until college football is done for or he does play and speeds up the death entirely. I'm guessing the Big 12 conference and the rest of the teams would hope Tech does the right thing so they don't have to try to use the nuclear option but Tech seems pretty selfish in this.I'll be shocked if Sorsby plays a single down for Tech this fall.
Cody legit publicly told Yormark to get in line and that the big12 runs through Lubbock and Yormark just happily signed on to his legislation trying to “save” college sports.Wasn't Cody Campbell supposed to be a College sports savior?
