I wasn't on board with some of the signees for the basketball team, but I'm officially out of phuchs.

Just let them all play.

NCAA is going to fold. Posted this a few times on here over the past few years. The NCAA will not be the governing body of college sports by 2030.

Can a team file an injunction to get into the playoffs if the NCAA denies them entry into the playoffs?

All of LSU's players should be eligible by an EBR judge if the NCAA rules any ineligible.

Guess we don't need to worry about eligibility for our basketball transfers

This is absolutely insanity. We live in a world where money will outweigh the most simplistic form of right and wrong.

So kids can now gamble on their own teams. Great. So stupid to allow local judges to just allow this. What a joke.

I'm sure the NCAA will appeal to a court outside of Lubbock. Then maybe sanity can be applied to the situation.

Absolutely! That's the name of the game now that they have created this. The NCAA absolutely is ballless for sure. Trinidad chambliss just picks a Ole Miss graduate judge. He's eligible to play swarsby picks a judge in Lubbock Texas who I'm sure the Texas tech grad he's eligible to play. So absolutely if the NCAA tries to root any of our players ineligible just run to the nearest court. Make sure they are in LSU grad and not a two lane grad and that's it we play. If you can't beat them, join them. The NCAA is ballless likes a previous poster. Said they will not be the ruling body of college sports here very shortly. That's what makes it so bad about Scott Woodward caving into the pressures thinking we were going to get hit. All we would have done is go to court and stop all this but now we have to rebid with Will Wade which should have never happened in the first place. Go Tigers

Dude says fukit I demand to wear DraftKings sticker on my helmet…….I’ve been off the wagon for multiple years. This is more of the same. Pathetic how they’ve ruined the greatest game in history.

A TRO is generally only good for about 10 days. Will see if he is successful in obtaining a preliminary injunction. That will determine whether he plays or not this season. Good first step for the player, but not across the finish line.

Keeping in mind Bediako was granted a TRO, but the Alabama state court ultimately denied the preliminary injunction.

College sports won’t be around much longer unless federal government steps in.. Usually nothing good ever comes from that either.

None of these articles specify the legal basis upon which the injunction was granted. I wonder if it was a due process argument where Texas Tech didnt give Sorsby proper notice, etc., thus leading to the potential "harm" to Sorsby mentioned in the article.

Government created the problem, now we’re asking government to fix it. I’m not optimistic.

Yeah, that’s how a preliminary injunction works. You have to establish four core pillars: likelihood of success on the merits, irreparable harm, balance of equities, and the public interests.

quote:

But Monday's ruling by district judge Ken Curry in Lubbock County, Texas, restores Sorsby's eligibility, saying that the NCAA cannot prevent him from "practicing, playing or otherwise participating on Texas Tech's football team for the 2026 season."

The ruling also said that Sorsby "demonstrated that he will suffer a probable, imminent, and irreparable injury if this Court does not issue this temporary injunction because he will be unable to participate as a member of Texas Tech University's 2026 Football season."

The NCAA responded in a statement Monday, saying that Curry's ruling "undermines and corrupts the integrity of sports."

"The NCAA strongly disagrees with the court's ruling in Sorsby's case and is deeply concerned about the damaging, far-reaching and broadly destabilizing ramifications of this outcome -- which undermines and corrupts the integrity of sports," the statement said. "The NCAA is committed to supporting student-athlete mental health but must continue to aggressively defend against actions that defraud college athletics and threaten competitive integrity, such as betting on one's own sport."

Sorsby was diagnosed with gambling and anxiety disorders during a 35-day inpatient stay at a gambling rehabilitation center in Arizona, according to his attorneys. He is alleged to have placed thousands of bets during his college career at Indiana, Cincinnati and Texas Tech, according to legal documents.
