Honestly, the thing that truly bothers me, the betting aside, is how this much power has been consolidated to such a tiny group of people. The federal judge thing is something that has bothered me for a while, but then someone like Campbell that is able to use their wealth to effectively buy an entire school is just so….absurd to me. And yet, here we are. A few people just turned the CFB world on its head and in all likelihood, will get away with it.
This should have never happened. Not even close. Abuse of power sickens me and it is just so rampant in sports these days and this is just the shining case in point this year.
****, I hate that the NCAA is truly this weak. And how our BoR system works.
No one truly cares about the gambling.

He even named member institutions in the suit, which includes Houston another state institution
This isn't to benefit Texas. It's to protect his donor Campbell

It's unbelievable how stupid Technical is being, from the President on down. Soresby is not some Heisman candidate sure fire NFL 1st round talent. Even if he was, he has never been a student at TTU. He is a 1 year hired pay for play NIL xfer. Tech needs to just punt, declare him ineligible, cancel his NIL deal, and move on with QB2.
This is NOT going to end well for them, though they can't see it for whatever reason.

Haha...who does care about it then?
The schools raking in billions? The networks raking in billions? The middle aged alum of every school living their fantasies through the lives of CFB players? The middle aged alum gambling on prop markets and poly markets and fantasy sites on everything? The middle aged alum donating to NIL funds to buy players? The power brokers at every school donating millions to buy players? Those same people and schools spending hundreds of millions on a coach that might might might get them a conference or CFP championship? The same schools and alum and donors that look the other way when a stud player gets in trouble for smacking around a girl or getting caught with weed or gets a DUI? The same people that snicker when their million dollar transfer player has a grad assistant going to class for them?
It's all a farce at this point. No one cares about the 'integrity of the game' as long as they win.

This is what puzzles me as well. Tech is gambling the future of their program on one season from this rando kid that doesn't give a crap about their program. There is a .0001% chance they win the CFP this year with Sorsby, and even if they do win it'll be considered the most tainted championship of all time and won't bring Tech the respect they crave.
Cody Campbell's crusade in part was for Tech to finally be respected, and he's making moves that ensure that even if they win they'll still be regarded as a low tier clown school by almost the whole country. It's puzzling how he could be so tone deaf to not understand that the cost isn't worth it to play this kid. Can you imagine the circus this year at Sorsby's games when opposing fans start to taunt him. Every mistake is going to inspire chants about his gambling history.
Maybe the only thing more puzzling is Paxton idiotically stepping into this fight. Just shows how worthless our politicians are when we see them using their public positions to comment on stuff like this and threaten organizations.

Why not allow athletes to take money from bookies to impact a score then?
"Here's 50 million to throw 4 interceptions in the natty game."
I mean, integrity and caring about that is merely "virtue signaling", right?
Doesn't take a lot of critical thinking skills to understand the bigger picture.El Chupacabra said:AggieEP said:Jarrin Jay said:

How would it be tainted? I thought we were more concerned about Sornsby throwing games to cover his bets. If tech wins it, will it be tainted if we find out he gambled on tech to win it all? Or would we then be concerned thst the team tech beat had players that were betting against themselves?
There is so much virtue signaling and faux outrage over this whole thing.

Surely you jest. Pretty simple to see how a Tech natty this year would not be remembered fondly by 99.9% of the country. Not only playing an ineligible player, but playing a player that will almost certainly lose his case at trial eventually when it's litigated.
The injunction was just a judge kicking the can down the road not some statement on the merit of his case. This whole process is just delaying the inevitable and for some reason Tech has decided to go along for the ride knowing that it's eventually going to blow up in their faces.
