The SEC has it own problem with one of its schools having a local Judge override the NCAA to allow a QB to play. It’s not as outrageous, but it showed Tech the way.
For the millionth time, it’s not the same.
While ridiculous as well, this isn’t a gray area eligibility case without precedent like OM. They have a clear black and white rule with previous precedent in the ncaa’s favor. This should have been a cut and dry dismissal.
There is a clear don’t game rule in place.

The ole miss disaster was them finding a loophole and exploiting it. While I vehemently disagree with the Chambliss decision, it was a gray area.
This was not. He broke a clear cut, black and white, plain as day rule that has defined and known consequences, and this judge just said “consequences of your own actions are harmful to future prospects”. frick this.

Nah. He should dip out today... His legacy is already crumbling fast. He can save some face by doing the right thing. Now TT and their douche bag booster can go f themselves... I still hope teams don't schedule them if he plays or not.

Absolutely, only when a school skips out on a playoff game will this stop.

Not to mention decades of blatant game fixing, bending the rules for a specific program so players could be "eligible", and allowing some programs to openly pay players. Not to mention rigging scheduling within the conference for almost a decade as well.
Yeah, the SEC is the epitome of "clean". LOLOLOLOLOLOL

Tech doesn’t play anyone non conference in football so it doesn’t hurt them either. If the mandate is for all sports that’s a little different story, but idk how you enforce it. If you are in one of the dozens of basketball tournaments at the beginning of the season do you just forfeit those games?

If you want to draw a line and do something to salvage the integrity of the game ? Yes.
But nobody will. This is all talk because the powers that be are carrying suitcases full of cash

Right, Chambliss didn’t do anything wrong, Sorsby’s actions call into question the integrity of the game.

The moral outrage on this one is off the charts.
I agree with most that he shouldn’t be allowed to play.
However, why is this the line everybody draws in the sand?
Beat up women? Cool
Steal, rob, etc.? Cool
Drunk, reckless, etc. driving? Cool
Illegal weapons? Cool
Illegal drugs? Cool
Take other schools players and coaches? Cool
That and the song here would’ve been totally different had LSU landed the kid like they wanted to.

I wonder how the high and mighty conferences will treat competitions against women’s teams with transgender athletes.

Have nothing to do with the sport itself. No one is saying that those things are okay
quote:

People have criticized the portal and the recruiting schedule which leads to coaches being hired early time and time again
Completely ignoring that this ruling opens the door for the actual game itself to be jeopardized through rigging, point shaving, insider trading, etc is idiotic

None of these things that you listed call into question the validity of games that are played on the field.
They may be things that you think are morally wrong, but they don’t make anyone question the outcome of the games.
In the lens of games played on the field, what Sorsby has done is way worse than any of the things that you listed.

You are insane. His only hope is to go out and show out this year. Waiting for the NFL to maybe forgive him is stupid. He’d better throw for 5000 yards and 40 TDs this year.

Coaches have been buying players for decades. You don’t think that “calls into the validity of the game”? Herschel Walker was committed to Clemson and at the last minute Dooley bought him a car. That definitely I,packed the validity of the game. Auburn bought Cam and won a Natty. You don’t think that cash invalidated the game? You think Auburn would have win every game without Cam?

Do you genuinely not understand the difference?
