Oh wow. I don't even know where to begin with that one....
Get a hold of yourself.
Playing him is the issue, not being on the team
Had he been on the team and known to not be playing, let’s say due to injury, no one would be calling for his dismissal
And given he got a court ruling based on a “medical” issue, whether we believe it or not, Tech likely has to be careful in dismissing him now
he still thinks TT will do the “noble” thing and not play him despite every single thing to the contrary, your better off banging your head against the wall then trying to get him to see reason for this one
That Cody Campbell and Sorsby got their fee fee’s hurt, since that is apparently now an affirmative defense in the State of Texas
But, but, that statement from the AD, which screams 'We're playing him!' didn't explicitly use those words so they're obviously going to do the 'right' thing.
Likely on the basis that schools have publicly alluded it to it being from as retribution for rostering a guy the courts are deciding on
But where does Tech have legal ground? You just can't sue because your feelings are hurt.
It would be best just to cut all ties with him. TTU could honor a scholarship, but he likely would leave TTU and enroll at a JUCO anyway
We all read what we want to read when a statement says nothing
Some see that the question wasn’t actually addressed and read that as “see, he’s playing”
Others see a letter is trying to be defiant, but not defiant in the actual issue (playing). In fact, it clearly intentionally avoided answering the real question. In a letter of defiance, that’s telling. Particularly when also distancing themselves from how it got to this
It’s not like they’ll be able to hide playing him
They wanted a moment to say **** you…
Still having him on the team, whether he plays or not, is a distraction that isn't needed.
The best is to not sue on his behalf in the first place when he so obviously broke the rules. Also maybe give a thought to the optics and do it outside of Lubbock.
Either way TT messed up hard here of their own doing (mostly Cody’s doing but he is the AD at this point)
Unfortunately, you essentially can with good enough lawyers
Billable hours are undefeated.
Like I said, bluster from both sides. The edict doesn’t represent much of anything given most schools already don’t play them
Tech sues. edict removed to avoid needless legal costs. Teams still don’t play them. Like now
Tech can try to sue but a judge would throw it out on the account they don't have legal ground to stand on.
Imo a super league was always and is still the only final outcome.
Tech was getting unfair hate before this issue-PR isn’t a priority at this point for them. And that’s assuming you’re correct on how it got here, rather than what they claim
What does good PR get them? Playing the villain better at this point . I mean you’ve previously laid out how they don’t have P2 chances. Big 12 at-large already little chance.
