Explain to me the outrage over Sorsby/TT
Posted on 6/9/26 at 2:18 am

Yes, he broke NCAA rules. Yes, there is recent precedent against his exact actions. Yes college sports is a complete mess.
I’m not condoning his actions and I don’t care about Texas Tech at all. But it’s not a competitive advantage, he’s not being paid illegally, it’s not performance enhancing, etc.
However, doesn’t this reaction seem a little odd after all the shite we’ve seen?
IDK why TT is dying on this hill, but I find it odd this is the issue where randos like Georgia and Nebraska are going to such lengths to shun them either.
Is it some moral outrage? Why this and why now? Especially on the heels of this UT back and forth and TT’s emerging success in a few sports.
Is it the old guard threatened by new blood? Is that the root?

You don't understand why courts effectively legalizing points shaving is being met with swift, negativity from peers?

Was he doing that? IDK. I didn’t think so but I’m not certain.
Is the potential there? Of course but again in the context of 2026 things are different.

But he had inside info about the players on his teams injury status. The feds call this insider trading.

Alabama's baseball coach was fired over betting with inside information. He didn't play in the game, but sure he managed it.
This is what the NCAA did to him
Brad Bohannon: Received a 15-year show-cause penalty. If an NCAA institution chooses to hire him within that timeframe, he must be suspended for 100% of the baseball regular season for his first five years of employment.
My outrage is a local judge having the ability to override the NCAA when certain players break the rules. It's absurd and most of them have bias built in.

Ask yourself is this why Pete Rose isn’t in the baseball Hall of Fame? Is it because baseball is threatened by Texas Tech? lol, betting on your own team has always been a big no no.

No, but this seems to be the new talking point of braindead morons who want their teams to openly cheat.

This ruling allows players to bet on games they are playing in. He may have not been points shaving, but because of this injunction anyone else can do so in the future. It calls into question the legitimacy of all contests moving forward.
That’s what you see “random” AD’s calling out Texas Tech. This ruling impacts every single college sport.

Never be surprised by the lack of intelligence that gets displayed on this board on a daily basis.
The fact that we are at a point in society where betting and point shaving are "aw shucks, no big deal... it won't happen again" is asinine! We need a total reboot on everything in life.

You don’t understand why players betting on their sports is bad?
Posted on 6/9/26 at 6:26 am to ChunkyLover54
Because what happens when he does it, in games he's a part of?
Posted on 6/9/26 at 6:36 am to ChunkyLover54
Nothing in the realm of live sports is a bigger no no than the implication that the integrity of the outcomes are in question. If we can't trust live sporting outcomes, and many already dont, then what can be trusted? People spend far too much money for there to be perceived predetermined outcomes. Sorsby being allowed to gamble on his own team in any way lends credence that the integrity is possibly compromised. Cant have that.
Paying players, soft schedules, who deserves what, new blood, old blood, none of it matters if the outcomes of games are predetermined, or implied. Integrity does still have a place in America, no?

They are already rigging games. The players should be allowed to get in on it too. The people pulling the strings hate competition and never want to pay the players for the same things they are doing. It is hilarious to watch fans now who really and truly believe everything they are watching is on the up and up.

Yes the ncaa was fricking retarded for kicking the can down the road on NIL and letting the courts make the decision for them but everything that been thrusted on them by a retarded arse legal system since is stupid. It’s a basic rule that’s not that hard to not break and if you do break it there should be consequences.
