Texas Tech 10 Million Dollar Portal Season


But...but...but Sorsby can't be the most hated player in college football. Tech's AD said their # 1 priority is Sorsby's mental health. If he were the most hated player, then he'd be subjected to merciless booing whenever they go on the road, and Tech would never make him suffer through that because his mental health is so fragile.

almost forgot that Sorsbys attorney is the speaker of the Texas House and the judge worked around his schedule but not the NCAA for the appeals. Texas is a corrupt state.
I’ve lived in TX since I graduated a couple decades ago and fully agree that Texas is massively politically eff’d up and…what state isn’t massively corrupt AF right now? Louisiana is still probably winning that contest, but it’s a toss up really.

Anything and everything that can be monetized is being monetized. It’s late stage capitalism weaving into every aspect of our lives and displacing morals, ethics and fun.

Like I said before I feel bad for Brett. I know I shouldn't but damn he really is in it right now. I have no idea what is going to happen.
Why would you feel bad for him? Because why is he being extremely well compensated if it’s not for situations like this?

I think most on this forum would take millions in compensation especially if you didn’t have to actually address complex financial and ethical issues.
 
I'm having a hard time not cheering for Sorsby... The Big 12 needs Tech to go far and it's not possible without him leading their offense.

Not ideal but it's reality. Also can't change the screw job given to our players by the current AG...
This scandal is going to torpedo their season. This is going to be such a distraction, I don’t see any way they live up to expectations this season.

Yes, the most important thing in all this is that TT keeps winning games.

JFC.
 
Gambling remains a hard NO in college sports.

It's pretty ******* simple really, but TT needs to try to prove they aren't the bastard of Texas public universities.
Haha. Tech not doing a great job with this simple concept and rule. They are Texas football.
 
Yeah this is such a random and stupid take, zero players are going to care about this. Most probably also are gambling or doing other things. No players are going to take action that they wouldn’t have already done just playing Tech
OK then; I can forget that it's not OK because others do it to or don't care. Thanks for that. I guess.

Ah, no.
 
It's hard to believe that the former SWC and it's member schools played so nicely together.

If TT does anything with Sorsby in the playoffs, which I doubt because he isn’t very good, this will just have a massive * next to it and won’t do the Big12 any favors especially if the commish just sits on his hands and lets it happen.

BS for a lot of reasons but that will be the prevailing narrative that comes out of it, nothing positive for the Big12
Were you expecting something positive for the Big 12? Didn't think so.

Tech is just a Temu Texas at this point. Just as arrogant without the reputation of Texas. At this point I view them the same as the $EC and B1G- namely that I don’t need to acknowledge their existence or watch their games on TV anymore. I used to be pro ISU and any B12 team- this whole thing has gotten me to the point where I don’t care about any team on tv outside of ISU. Allowing Sorsby to play after this is just going to speed up the end of CFB.
 
Gambling Apparatus, lol. You cant make this stuff up.
It’s a real dorky way to describe it, but he has a bit of a point. It’s way too easy to gamble, we’re creating a nation of addicts, and I think we’ll look back on this as we look back on the start of the opioid crisis.

But that doesn’t change the fact that you just can’t have athletes betting on games. That has to be a red line
