It would basically eliminate any hope of the NCAA enforcing any of its eligibility rules.


Yeah that’s the broader issue. This case will determine what, if any, enforcement authority the NCAA has.

LSU dodged a bullet, although I think he’ll win in court and get to play.


It will go to a Texas, kangaroo court, with Judge, probably a Tech grad.

Remember the joke of a court verdict, with Mike Leech case. 2of 3, or 3 of 5 judges on panel were taco tech grads, and tech won the suit, lol.

He should never be allowed to suit up, again.


Agreed, it will look as if they are somewhat making him an example and maybe rightfully so. I just don't see how anyone with a reasonable objective opinion would think he should be reinstated with eligibility. I don't care how much you dislike the NCAA.

Theoretically his attorneys just need to find a friendly judge and then drag things out on appeal while he plays, no?


Only if a judge agrees to issue an injunction.

As a judge, I would be a lot more willing to listen to an argument about how NCAA eligibility rules around amateurism are BS than an argument for someone gambling on their team.

Tech judge who was assigned the case already recused himself. This ain’t Alabama or Mississippi. There are plenty of other judges from other Texas schools.

Doubtful. This is one where the rule is pretty damn clear


ADA doesn't require pharmacies hire drug addicts, regardless of how successful their rehab might be.

This is karma for how they treated Mike Leach. I hope Sorsby already took their NIL cash and wipes his arse with it on the way out of Lubbock.

if he wins the ncaa needs to shut down. That’s basically the courts telling them they have no authority to enforce any rules .

There is no constitutional right to play college football, but there is a constitutional right to attend a public university.

this guy will never play another down of CFB again... he may as well go ahead and enter the supplemental draft, b/c honestly, his entire career is hanging in the balance, at this point, IMO

He’s only fighting this because he is losing over $5 mil this year and will not sniff that total in his NFL career.

It's hilarious that all it takes is a local judge up for reelection, who is a fan, or who is an alum and you can get extra eligibility for a tooth ache or gamble as much as you want on your own team

What is the point of the NCAA denying eligibility anymore? It just seems like a waste of time and money on their part.

Two top 10 teams this season will be playing with QBs who have no business playing college football.

There is no way he will be able to play again because the rule is……, hold on , what’s that, oh he does get to play again.
