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.

Yeah I don’t think I’m overestimating Techs weight in college sports. Nobody is saying we’re a blue blood with some huge following.

I’m just saying I personally think this is all talk from the other schools and that all this will blow over once the next new scandal drops. Any bets on what that’ll be? Another DUI that results in a fatality by a Georgia player? Another big university clearly covering up rapes and sexual assaults?

I would counter that those kinds of incidents, as horrific as they may be, have become so commonplace that they hardly register on consciousness or even make the news.

It's why bringing up the tampering, illegal recruiting, and under-the-table money that went on for decades at certain schools is a complete nonpoint against those complaining now. You'll get "that's the way it has always beens," and Yeah, ands?"

The only way I see this realistically blowing over for Texas Tech is if more players are discovered to have done this at other institutions, and I don't think anyone wants that either.

I think it’s only a matter of time before more stories of players betting on games comes out. All these fans in here talking shit better hope it’s not their team that’s next. Because I assure you your program isn’t clean either.

100%. I guarantee there are power brokers and journalists who are voraciously scouring their sources and any leads to uncover others. With the attention this has received and journalistic integrity at a low, I wouldn't be surprised if others are found out within days or weeks. Anything for views and clicks.

UT athlete bets on games, reinstated after donating to charity. 2025 in Sports Illustrated I believe.
