Big XII options for sanctioning Texas Tech
- Thread starter ScottyP
- Start date
It was fun while it lasted, but predictable outcome
But there’s going to be a lot of conferences against factions of their own, with schools threatening to leave, if conference governance is the future

tech really showed their true colors in this too all for it to go the way they didn’t want haha
Well, they could have launched a national robocall initiative aggressively reminding random citizens that keeping Sorsby on the team was vital to maximize the return on their billionaire donors' contributions. Right before sending a follow-up text asking for GoFundMe contributions to offset "inflationary operational costs."
So yes, they could have handled it worse.
My favorite quote from the Texas Tech AD
“As we have said before, we do not believe that the circumstances of Brendan’s case warranted permanent ineligibility,”
This surely won’t haunt Tech for years to come, right?
Hmmm... maybe the NCAA can now turn it's attention to Indiana and Cincinnati, where Sorsby played while making bets on his own team.
Because Michigan, among a host of other b1g schools, is as pure as the driven snow.
All they needed to do was the original Hocutt statement. Anything beyond that from them was beyond stupid.
This was the most likely outcome all along and they were going to be better off with a healthy Will Hammond.
Lighting 5 million dollars on fire to have your reputation destroyed and ruin your standing with the power two conferences. Heck of an offseason.

Cincy was aware when betting app firm notified NCAA of Sorsby being blocked. Cincy ran through compliance check with NCAA and nothing was unearthed beyond that due to Sorsby lying and privacy rules.
Not sure about IU but Cincy is in the clear based on interview with Cincy insider.
Twitter is definitely crazy with that talk. Reddit has more of the embarrassed Tech fans.
What a chicken **** cowardly answer. "We, as Texas Tech, didn't file the injunction. The player did of his own free will with his own money"
"But also we were totally legally right when we threatened the other lawsuits after the fact"
The timeline was too tight to try and do both. His team knew their goose was cooked fighting the NCAA/Big 12.
