frick TT and any person or entity that defends them on this.


Well, frick me then because I think it is hilarious.

Week in and week out we post on a team board that participates in one of the most blatantly crooked conferences in the country. We have watched the SEC rig games for decades right in front of our eyes. We have watched SEC Officials that are alumni for one specific school, alter entire year schedules to benefit their favorite team. Hell, for years you had an alumni of that school that was the head of the conference officiating. Don't even get me started on the frickery we witnessed during that time. Oh, and check out where the head of NCAAF officials in the NCAA office went.

I could go on and on.

My point is that the players, coaches, and REFS have been doing this for years. The NFL is so blatantly rigged that I quit watching it years ago. I'm not even a Saints fan and I cannot for the life of me understand why anyone from New Orleans would ever give the NFL one penny after the way they rigged the NFCCG years ago.

Everyone is gambling. Why not allow the players to benefit too? They are the ones risking injury while the blatant frickery is happening.

Downvote away. Oh, and frick the NCAA.

No accountability? He has to miss TWO GAMES!! TWO!! And he has to complete all of his addiction rehab.

You have no sympathy for the mentally ill!!

But, seriously, I think Tech's best opition is to honestly do what is best for Sorsby, and keep him out of the sports environment that he claims started his addiction in the first place. Treat him as injured, and sit him.

Whats to stop a B12 state (not acting as the conference) to come out and state none of the teams based on that state can play TT while they roster a known and admitted college football gambler?

That separates it from conference. Could claim ruling only applies in tx not their state.

Big 12 schools need to hold a vote to expel TT from the conference. Conferences are private groups of association with bylaws. I'm sure there are bylaws regarding expelling members. They should exercise them.

Exactly right. You would put a pedo as a babysitter. Just makes no sense.

I don't know why teams don't sign people from the UFL. Nothing will happen.

Betting on your own team has always been a line in the sand, in every sport at every level. Nothing you posted even comes close to that.

Insider trading/betting with inside knowledge is NOT gambling.

Ole Miss started this shite with a state court granting chambliss eligibility. I could see the NCAA making a move after week one for some of these programs.


Not even remotely the same retard.

Chambliss is within his 5 years to play everyone agrees should be the eligibility rule. And he played like 2 games in one season and had to sit out due to medical issues.

Sorsby bet against his own team.

What’s to stop these teams from not playing them?


I am guessing here, but I would think there would be absolutely no problem if a school decided that on its own. I think the potential issue (not sure if it really is one) is that universities meet, discuss, and then collectively decide not to play them. That is essentially what Paxton is saying, I think? The problem is the collusion of various universities, in this case members of the conference, trying to punish a school.

Not sure how strong an argument it is because each university voluntarily joined a conference and there are rules that must be followed . . . ?

the common thread is suing the organization you voluntarily joined because you dont like the rules you voluntarily agreed to follow.

Officials clearly rigging games is no different than a player betting on his own team, IMO. Both have some control on the outcome and can alter it at any time, good or bad.

No, but again, the gambling is the main motivator for what you are seeing weekly. Every other commercial is promoting gambling and the leagues/conferences all sign off on it. The leagues are also protected legally when games are fixed, which is even more ironic when you think about it. Hell, the NFL admitted over a decade ago a team was cheating, so fand of opposing teams sued to get their money back from games, and low and behold, the court ruling flat out admitted they could rig games at will.

Again, nothing you are watching is completely clean. NOTHING. And guess what? They will be back to rigging games again this fall.

So if we get another rino that compromises on the values he ran on once he gets into office, that will be ok?


Paxton is not a rino who compromises. Cornyn is way closer to that.
He is a guy who will do whatever the rich donors tell him to do though:

I don’t disagree. I also don’t understand how a private governing body can be over ruled by courts and lawyers.


More importantly, what is pacxton doing in this - how does the state of Texas have to do with private conferences refusing to play

This is such a bad look for Paxton
