You can't write these jokes anymore!

Sorsby has been entered into a gambling addiction program. Would be hilarious if he doesn't even end up playing or sells out since he is compromised by debts

Aggie football related since they are unfortunately a competitor as they buy players in a Weak 12 to likely make CFP contention

This also isn't a couple bets either... thousands

I bet he knows and has placed a wager.

I'm sure Campbell et al. will find a way to buy him out of the NCAA's consequences and ensure he plays

Real Talk is that this is probably happening on more teams than just Tech. It's a funny headline since Tech got caught but I'm willing to bet(lol) this is more widespread than not.

Making millions in NIL for one season in Lubbock yet still gambling is peak level stupidity. What a moron.

Yep, that stuff is just as addictive as heroin or cocaine. Going to be a lot of young people who end up with problems with sports betting as we move forward.

Sad deal for him. Gamifying sports betting such that it is more like mobile device gaming sure seems like it is gonna wreck many many young men.

I could not give any less f-cks about Tech though.

Looks like he's off to over/under achieve this season.

This is solid take. My nephew lost $50K he didn't have - so parents bailed him out.

Electronic device addiction is rewiring these kids brains.

Remember back in the 80s-90s of the SWC when some teams would get investigated and fined/restricted/punished for wrongdoings while others who were likely doing the same thing were not investigated?

This sounds familiar.

First - it's the NCAA and I never trust them to do anything properly.

But:

According to sources, Sorsby bet on Indiana football while redshirting for the Hoosiers as a true freshman in 2022, a season in which he played in a single game as a reserve. The bets in 2022, according to sources, were on Indiana to win and none came in a game in which Sorsby appeared.

If this true he should never play another down.

In fairness to the kid, what the **** else is there to do in lubbock?

The betting history spans back years.

By the letter of the law he should be deemed permanently ineligible, maybe an argument could be made for 50% loss of one year of eligibility if we're being generous, but anything less than that would be unacceptable in this case.

I also agree with other posters noting that while the kid has to take responsibility for his own actions, the gambling industry has tried their best to redefine sports betting as an innocent game and largely succeeded. When I was young the industry outside of Vegas were all about bookies and underground dens of criminals and you had stories about dudes getting killed for racking up gambling debts. Now every commercial during a game is trying to encourage me to take on prop bets.

It's a real shame that this kid is likely about to find out what real world consequences are, but it's also a shame that the 'adults' in our society have created the conditions on which such sin is advertised directly to kids like Sorsby.

He should be done, since he bet on his own team. I'm guessing Campbell opens up the checkbook and he just gets a slap on the wrist though.

Or maybe, 'Red ink and Blackjack' continuing the theme.

The whole gambling thing is wild. My cousin's ex-husband basically lost everything they had through his secret online gambling.

Meanwhile they will continue to air hundreds of betting app commercials every week on sports broadcasts

While also paying them millions of dollars? What could go wrong?

Ahh

And there's no longer a spring portal. Tech is stuck with what they have on the roster.

Bet on Indiana games while he was on the roster.

That could be enough to permanently disqualify him from CFB
