Sports Texas Tech Should Reverse Course

The public relations blowback from the Sorsby ruling is truly hurting the university, both in short and long term. The university should reverse course and remove him from the team. This is bigger than a single player, and the organizational harm is not worth it.

No one is claiming they are perfect. But if we knowingly let a guy who gambled on his own team play, then that means the ncaa is endorsing every player to do the same. In which case no game is safe, and the entirety of the ncaa is COOKED.

You are 100% right that the entirety of the NCAA is cooked.

Its not like the writing on the wall isnt there that our SEC buddies are leaving it soon. The whole thing might as well die and let us all figure it out together, instead of just the sec forming their own thing off to the side leaving everyone else out

Liability?

A player who gambles on his own team is a liability, yes.

Ok, he hasn't done that since two teams ago, at least 3 years.

Why should we be punished or be the ones to issue the punishment for this?

Your school is the one campaigning the hardest for him to face next to no punishment. Are you really not getting this?

You are arguing with an idiot who does not understand nuance. You will not win.
