If those facilitating the wrongs of college athletics can’t contribute to the solution, every P2 president has to sit this out
He's playing both sides all the time now. Pushing to "save college sports" by buying legislation, but until that legislation actually arrives, he's accelerating anything he can to help his school in the meantime. Abusing the system while it can be abused, but also prepping to close the holes later on to still be the hero and the good guy.
Playing the game as it is, not how it ought to be, while also advocating for change. Supposedly.
So pretty much like all the top brands of college athletics
Remember, P2 leadership has been butthurt about Tech even before this
Exclusive clubs tend to hate how fungible money is.
He deserves criticism for not anticipating the blowback given the topic though
Tech deserves all of this, but the Big 10 and SEC acting morally superior is hilarious.
100% They're just going to use this as a shield and claim the NCAA doesn't have the ability/power to effectively manage the sport anymore and they need to operate as an independent entity with more regulations to "ensure a level playing field."
What does separation solve on that 'level playing field'? The SEC and B1G will both have the same issues the NCAA is currently having on their own. They're still going to need anti trust legislation to enforce the rules they say the NCAA can't.
They spent a lot of the last month talking about how they need to separate because THEY can’t stop breaking rules and using courts to bypass meek NCAA
So using this court ruling as a guise is no surprise
Just by breaking away it solves legit nothing, this will just be the primary exhibit on why the current situation isn’t working and that they would do better.
Reality is they would still face some issues. They might just be able get away with some of these things by having some agreements in place that prevent completely off the rails things like what TT have done.
While I think TT thing is absurd both bama and LSU also brought back pro athletes which while not as optically rough is still BS
Hey, I didn’t realize that Iowa State fought the NCAA to keep Hunter Dekkers eligible. News to me.
I continue to see no way Tech goes through with it.
It’ll take them some time to accept that although others don’t play by the rules, this rule is one to respect

Sorsby placed bets on Indiana while on the team as a freshmen. If his argument is he had an grambling addiction, should not he have to the addiction existed that freshman year, not now some 4 years later. I question he had
Yeah, they were surprised according to this reporter but obviously they won't publicly admit it. Certainly not the only lawsuit that's been filed with a surprise outcome to both parties.
And this reporter suggested the best case scenario for everyone is for Tech to settle with Sorsby on his RevShare/NIL deal for a reduced amount and Sorsby enters the NFL Supplemental Draft. And I agree with that.
It is said Sorsby didn’t bet against Indiana (which doesn’t matter) but he did bet the under in passing yards, which does mean he bet against them.
I disagree with the first part but totally agree with you that settling and cutting him is the best path forward but they seem to be digging in more.
Will be interesting to see how much pressure the conference puts on them
