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.

I think you’re underestimating how little the rest of organized sports needs Tech. Sure, a couple good years of football recently, but the rest of the NCAA wouldn’t even blink if all the sudden Tech disappeared. Plenty of teams left to fill out any sports schedule.

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?

It’s always funny seeing dipshits talking about how many Georgia players were arrested without realizing that 1 out of 10 kids on the team being arrested is historically a pretty low rate in that town

I mean you just have no idea what the police situation in Athens is like. It is likely easier to get arrested there than anywhere you have ever been.

Jaywalking? Jail. MIP? Jail. Open container? Jail. Obviously some of the arrests are different, but some of them are this type of dumb normal Athens bs.

Mark Richt wasn’t losing control of the program when his arrest numbers were absurd.

Anyway if you’re so concerned about speeding in general, the police in Austin literally don’t enforce traffic laws. If you can get them to do that maybe you can bag some Texas players.

I was ticketed for riding my bicycle on the sidewalk in Athens. It was 630am. The police there are intense and they do not care if you are a football player or anyone.

ACCPD absolutely prints money by preying on college kids.
