Sorsby, Campbell surrender so fast!!!

[BillBrasky4Cy]

Honestly, Sorsby seems like a decent kid with a major addiction. This might be the best thing for him just to move on. He's talented enough to at least stick as a back up for several seasons in the league.

Good kid bad kid, decisions have consequences. Everyone deserves a second chance and he will get his.

In what universe does it make sense that you can just grab a retired judge and get him to rule in whatever way you want him to? Can you go get a retired cop to write someone a ticket or a retired DA to grant you a search warrant for whatever? Makes zero sense

A lot of judges partially retire and will take a case or two and stay on the bench.

The other thing to consider on his draft stock in the supplemental draft is will there be any criminal charges filed? Lots of uncertainty there will probably give most NFL teams pause. There are potential federal charges against him.

 

[cyputz]

I would think he would face a penalty eventually in the NFL if addicted.

Uwazurike was suspended for a while season if I remember right. Or was it reduced?

 

[Kinch]

My problem with the NCAA is this: they had months to prepare for a potential verdict against them and they weren’t ready to take it to federal court immediately. However, in one week the Big 12 got Sorsby to drop his case against the NCAA. Yormark ran circles around the NCAA.

That doesn't scream "cured of his addiction" to me

Edited to add:

 

[psycln11]

I'm more concerned about the other 10% he bet on the TTU softball team.

You realize that’s a fake tweet right, it’s important to me and society in general that you realize that’s a fake tweet

Because there are frequently overloaded dockets, Iowa has a senior judge program where retired judges can choose to continue working as substitutes as needed. Senior judges commit to working 65 days per year (1/4 FTE) and receive a modest stipend in addition to their pension. They also get their Medicare supplemental coverage at no cost.

How does a retired Judge come out of retirement and make a ruling on Sorsby's eligibility? I honestly need someone with knowledge on how court systems run? to me, Texas Law sounds messed up.

Look at the post above, it is common place.

The original judge recused himself because he was a tech grad.

At least in Iowa retired judges will routinely fill in when active judges cannot serve. "Retired Judge" is a status where you are still actively working, but in a fill-in role.

Recently observed a Polk County retired judge do a mediation session for a couple who are divorcing. Given what the session cost, it's a hell of a part-time gig.

That was likely a retired judge who has not taken senior status to stay on the bench. Some retired judges become full or part time mediators instead of taking senior status and remaining on the bench part time. Senior judges are strongly discouraged from conducting mediations because if you mediate a case, you're then disqualified from having those parties appear before you in a contested hearing or trial in the future.

Now Sorsby's agent says Cincinnati knew and did nothing.

Of course, pass the buck to someone else.

They probably did know though but Soresby still made the bets. And bet once he got to Lubbock.

Yeah, Cincy knew because a sportsbook app blocked him while at Cincy and reported him to the NCAA. NCAA and Cincy conducted a compliance check and engaged Sorsby in the process. Sorsby lied to Cincy and the NCAA about the extent of his gambling issues and the NCAA/Cincy were powerless to conduct an investigation into additional activity.
