He voluntarily dismissed it with prejudice, meaning it is over and he cannot bring it up again in court.

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


That was bullshite. ESPN was gassing him up so they would have NFL draft story during lean summer months.

Sorsby will sue

Claim will be the Terrelle Pryor was allowed into draft after violating NCAA rules, thus setting precedent.

Sorsby will win and the NFL will have to run a Supplemental Draft.

Note that the explanation for his denial doesn't say it is because he violated NCAA rules. Many, if not most, players who have entered the supplemental draft violated NCAA rules of some type. Cris Carter signed with an agent. Terrelle Pryor sold memorabilia. That is one of the main reasons why it exists--for players deemed ineligible for college ball after the regular draft deadline because they violated NCAA rules.

None of those other players gambled on their own team. Also, none of them had a court order saying they were still eligible, which they voluntarily dismissed themselves. We're also under a different CBA than those other players were, though the supplemental draft language may be similar.

Your Petition—filed three business days before the deadline, without any supporting information or documentation, and only after abandoning your recent litigation efforts to avoid NCAA sanctions
“Your petition is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever read. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no supplemental draft, and may God have mercy on your soul.”

Well, the question of how the NFL will handle a player like Sorsby that has gambled on his team has been answered.

The commish yes, teams didn’t seem to have as big a problem with it.



Are you really this stupid? You really believe he is acting on his own? He is mouthpiece for the owners anything coming from is from the owners.

Not really relevant to this thread but this analyst just announced on Twitter that he (Matt Miller) got in a crazy car accident and they had to amputate his arm to save his life

Wow, absolutely brutal response from the NFL. That's a huge "welcome to adulting" wakeup call.

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


Let us just remember the Texas AG, who is running for Senate, jumped in the mix like a fricking retard.

That won’t happen but I would fricking love him and his agent to get involved in yet another lawsuit.

From Sorsby, his agent, lawyer, the school, the local/state politicians, and the boosters, this entire thing has been a crash course on what not to do if you get caught gambling. I don’t know how to handle it more poorly than they have managed to do.

No just in game cheating. No big deal.


It was cheating in an attempt to win. That sort of thing is "breaking the rules" and frowned on, but doesn't compromise the integrity of the game as such.

Gambling on your own games= an attempt to gain monetary profit and reward, in an event you have some control or inside knowledge of. It isn't attempting to "win". You may be motivated to throw a game, or shave points, to win your bet.
He has apparently bet the under on his own team in at least one game. I know he was on the bench, but had he entered that game he would have been in position to win his bet by playing to lose.

You can't reconcile that to the general public, you just can't.

If he threw an interception that prevented his team from covering, the allegations are there that he did so intentionally. That could destroy the popularity of the game.
