Texas Tech QB gets eligibility

It’s a private non profit dude. A judge can absolutely tell them what they are and are not allowed to do. Operations across state lines means nothing. Do you think Ole Miss got that injunction from a Mississippi judge just so Chambliss could play home games this year?

Good luck to the Texas judge trying to enforce his ruling across state lines.
Doesn’t need luck, it’s well within his authority.
Please Google what Personal Jurisdiction is.
This generation of kids never had to take accountability for their actions and it is showing.
Georgia has said that it won’t schedule Texas Tech in any sport. Other schools need to adopt This. Cancel every game.
Lol, so did Nebraska. Now it's getting real....
Georgia, Nebraska ban teams from scheduling Texas Tech in wake of Brendan Sorsby ruling
The memo from the school's compliance director comes after Sorsby was granted a temporary injunction to play despite a history of gambling.

The Texas judge has personal jurisdiction over the NCAA regarding its activities in Texas. I haven't claimed otherwise.
???? My point is obvious. Go back as long as you can remember and when was the last time the NCAA cracked down on on of the blue bloods or a big money school? I not saying they shouldn't control, I'm saying they won't, (unless its Iowa or NW or someone like that)....
Coaches, ADs 'disgusted,' 'stunned' with Brendan Sorsby ruling
A judge's decision to rule Texas Tech's Brendan Sorsby eligible Monday drew the ire of college coaches and athletic directors, with reactions ranging from doomsday predictions to informal talk about Big 12 schools attempting to not play the Red Raiders.

I visited the Texas Tech board for laughs. One poster responded to the Big 12 commish's harsh statements with, "Screw this league , lets go to the Big10!!"
Texas Tech is not an AAU member, probably far from it, so the idea falls into the realm of pigs flying in a frozen hell.

Good for the Big 12, but I doubt that takes effect for 2026. Canceling home games vs. Texas Tech will cost athletic departments money. Having to refund broadcasters for games that don't happen will cost a lot more money.
Iowa has gotten the shaft a couple of times. Not right. This latest ruling is unreal.
Any pro sport you get caught gambling on your sport you are suspended. On your team, you are banned. Look at Pete Rose. Does he believe any NFL team will draft him?
Addiction my ***. These players are told time after time and educated about not gambling. $90K is what happens when a young man has no guidance and too much money.

It always has been. No the joke is about somethings fans care about and it is now a joke?
Have you read the case using case law? The case was about the swiftness of the NCAA ruling without full process of law. They haven't said its ok, but about the NCAA being a monopoly and making a quick decision made in part due to Pavia's case.
In some oneway this is reigning in the NCAA power which has also been a joke.
Some if you seem to be Bama fans
This will either get overturned by the appeals court, or Texas Tech will decide to suspend Sorsby themselves. Otherwise all other schools will refuse to schedule them in the future.
I predict he never plays another down of collegiate football.
Idiot. Simply an idiot
This isn't about "case law". It's about the integrity of the game. The statement from the "judge" that Sorsby would suffer irreparable harm all but eliminates said integrity.
Do you think the other schools in the Big 12 Conference will have a choice to not schedule them? I can see the conference stepping in and not allowing that to happen. And I hope your prediction is correct.
Integrity of the game left a long time ago. Due process is important and that does make sense.
in Tx however. Judges run for office by party affiliation. Whether it is influenced this or not is another question. On its merit, due process is needed, The qb was never convicted of a crime.
His admission needs to be sorted by due process where you like it or not.
Good point.
Maybe if all the other Big 12 schools showed a united front, there would be nothing the conference could do. Or maybe the conference could take action and “suspend” or even threaten to kick TT out (not likely, though). A lot of possibilities here.
I think the backlash and animosity towards Tech is too great, and the most likely scenario is that they decide the negativity isn’t worth it in the long run, and they suspend Sorsby themselves.
That’s just my opinion. Whatever happens…I won’t be surprised.
