You can officially bet on your own games now thanks to the Texas Tech booster judge.

Is this just some TT alum judge trying to help out his alma mater, and will be overturned?
Insanity. This is pretty much universal across all sports and all leagues that you can't bet on your own team.
I think I saw where he has to serve a 2 game suspensionā¦Hope youāre sitting down when I tell you their first two games are cupcakes lol
Defensive coordinators this season: Sweep the leg
TT should not get a friendly call all year long. College sports has gone to **** in less than a decade, really sad.
They should be excluded from postseason play. The judge can't force the NCAA to play Tech in the postseason.
The playoffs aren't governed by the NCAA. From what I understand.
But I do agree with your sentiment.
The āfind a friendly judgeā approach to seeking eligibility has gone a long way toward helping expose just how corrupt our judicial system has become.
If the courts wonāt even allow the NCAA to enforce rules against betting on your own games ā¦the one cardinal sports sin every athlete knows you can NEVER EVER do ā¦then thereās no point in the NCAA having any enforcement powers at all.

This consistent behavior of the overstepping nature of judicial courts is why I don't bash the NCAA anymore.
NCAA rules a kid that broke black/white rules that undermines the integrity of the sports.....a judge just gets to override it regardless of an organization's best interest.

The CFP committee does seeding and selection for the playoff process. Eligibility determination is still an NCAA enforcement issue. With the type of money involved, dial-a-friendly-judge shouldn't be a get out of jail free card.
Hey lawyers and basically anyone that has anything to do with the justice system. This is why we hate you.
Only a fool would be so dismissive of the mighty Abilene Christian Wildcats!
Im beginning to think the only legitimate sports are pro rastling and roller derby lol. Like the wild wild west anything goes
Technically you are correct. Like I said, I've seen it stated the CFP is independent. I wasn't sure what role they played in it. Obviously not much of one
Not lost on me is this bullshlt, "oh, this little bi-otch Sorsby has anxiety problems and is addicted to gambling. He went to a 35-day facility and now he has control of it". And the NCAA commended him on "admitting his problem".
Sorsby is a flipping low life. I'm so tired of society allowing this poor mental health crap to be an excuse for everything.

This. If he plays, the NCAA should rule them ineligible for the playoffs. They should also mandate that any game he plays in is an auto win for their opponent.
Gambling is ruining organized sports all around and needs to be heavily drawn back, ads should be illegal, etc
I've always thought the line "and justice for all" is one of the biggest loads of dung ever penned. In America, the justice you receive is dependent on your net worth and/or connections. NO judge at ANY level should be allowed to preside and make a ruling on anything where they have any connections whatsoever to the plaintiff or defendant.
The judge said something to the effect of he would suffer "irreparable harm" if not allowed to play. That's...the point?
Murders suffer irreparable harm when they go to prison.
Pro athletes suffer irreparable harm when they get banned for gambling. But they do.
But a college athlete can bet on his own team and you can't punish them? Where do we draw the line? May as well say you can't punish anyone because god forbid people have consequences.

Rumblings that if Sorsby plays, some team may forfeit games against him, or they say they are not wanting to play. I don't see any coach forfeiting, but this could get ugly.
Apparently there are no bounds on what they can order. These are all extremely poor decisions but decisions nonetheless.
Its insane and the wild west. The only positive is the more insanity, the more it drives reform.
