Your Petition does not address these matters. Nor does it demonstrate accountability for your conduct or indicate whether, or how, you would adhere to the League’s rules and policies governing the integrity of competition. Instead, even after receiving notice of the NCAA’s decision rescinding your college eligibility in May, you sought to avoid the consequences of that determination through litigation rather than accepting responsibility for your actions, and you pursued entry into the NFL only after abandoning those efforts.
As Commissioner Goodell has emphasized, participation in the NFL is a privilege that carries with it significant responsibilities, including accountability. By all accounts, you are a talented player with the potential for future success. We encourage you to focus on preparing for possible entry into the NFL through the 2027 NFL Annual Draft.
damn - that isn't even off the top rope, that is off the top of the steel cage. good on the NFL for standing their ground

As the CBA does deal with the supplemental draft, the NFLPA can challenge it. On what grounds and for which member . . . that's a damn good question.

Even IF he got another TRO, allowing him to play, it's safe to assume Goodell would use his power to "bully" any team from taking him, in any draft. That letter had Goodell all over it. Tech has already said that it will not play him.

He wouldn't because Kessler would absolutely use that against them in court for collusion
Teams would just "know", trust me

He's not a member of the NFLPA and they won't give two shits about non-members. Especially not him.

Only about 5 teams would be interested and only 1 or 2 would be there in any official capacity because this guy is nuclear.
I don't even know if that would be the case.
But in the end, it confirms what most thought a few weeks ago. The decision to challenge the NCAA's ruling in court and get a biased judge to give a BS reason to allow him to play was a bridge too far for everyone...other college programs, the Big 12, and clearly the NFL.
Hunter Dekkers was ruled ineligible by the NCAA for the same reasons. He appealed the ruling to the NCAA (which was denied) but then left it at that. He sat out a season, then played JUCO, before getting a shot with the Saints.
This is where ego comes in. Sorsby wasn't driving this bus. Cody Campbell was. He figured he had enough money and connections to strongarm his prized free agent signing into being allowed to play this year. And he did. But what he didn't account for was essentially unanimous backlash by entire sports world. Most notably the Big 12. It was only after the Big 12 stepped in to do what the NCAA wasn't allowed to do that TTU/Sorsby capitulated. Nevertheless, the damage for Sorsby was already done and it would be best if the "adults" in his life stop trying to force his way into playing because that hole is only getting deeper for Sorsby. He should just go play JUCO or in some other league, take accountability for his actions (rather than trying to blame it on a BS "addiction"), and try to rehabilitate his career. If he's good enough an NFL team will give him a shot.
I've said it before, Campbell is this generations Sherwood Blunt. A wealthy Texan with ego and means to try to make a second tier Texas program nationally relevant with the powerhouses in the sport. In the process he's not only going to eventually burn Texas Tech, but cause trouble for the rest of the sport. No matter how much money and influence you think you have, when the Big 10/SEC and other powerhouse programs (informally) join to "big league" you out of the picture, they will.
It's probably best Texas Tech takes its lumps on this one, still try to win a weak conference, then start over next year smartly trying to build it's way to a seat at the big boy table. I think the fact that Indiana with (largely) a bunch of unknown transfers ran roughshod through the rest of college football while Texas Tech got pantsed when it bought its way into the party was too much for Campbell to handle.

I would say at this point he should fire his water head agent for burning the world down on the way out, but the agent might know things that haven’t even come to light yet that could potentially “leak” out if he was fired like a scorned lover would do.

What time of year are the other shitty pro football leagues? Can he do one of those for a year to stay in game shape?

NFL saw this as a chance to come out strongly against anyone who gambles on their own sport, especially their own team.
And a chance for them to get brownie points from everyone outside of Lubbock. So they went HAM. Good PR for them.

Wow, this seems like the NFL protecting the dumb teams from themselves
Looks that way From ESPN-
quote:
Matt Miller, NFL draft analyst: In conversations with scouts before the NFL's mid-January deadline for underclassmen to declare for the 2026 draft, many believed Sorsby would have been a high Round 1 pick. He would not have been drafted ahead of eventual No. 1 pick Fernando Mendoza, but in what was seen as a weak class at the position, he would have been ranked ahead of Ty Simpson -- the QB2 and eventual No. 13 pick -- on most boards.
quote:
Jeremy Fowler, national NFL reporter: Sorsby would enter the draft with sizable value to teams. Several execs I spoke with over the past few weeks agree that he's worth a second-round pick in the supplemental draft. One AFC executive predicted Sorsby would have been a late-first-rounder if he were available in April's traditional draft
