The PUF fund was established well before tceh was even thought of. Try doing some research first.



I know quite a lot about the PUF, thank you very much. And so should you. And none of that changes anything I posted.


It should or you wouldn't be crying all over this thread. I see you needed time to fact check me.

Sorry. Let me remind you that you brought up the PUF fund. No one else did. So what does it have to do with gambling? Surely you in all your infinite wisdom you can answer this.

My sincerest apologies for not sitting at my computer hitting refresh on the browser waiting for your reply. I will try to improve.

The PUF fund has nothing to do with gambling. It has to do with TVM's perspective about the academic quality of Tech as a university.

Do try to keep up. This is tedious.

I don't think he should play and was very surprised by the judges decision.

I also don't believe all the holier than though statements from P4 teams, and believe that they would do the exact thing Tech has done in the same situation

I think someone like Michigan would. I'm not sure all P4 teams would.

As I stated though, I just wouldn't want the dude on my team. Too much risk there. I don't care about the publicity.

If it was my decision I would remove him from the Team and wish him the best. The potential upside is outweighed by the downside for tech football and the university.

That's easy for me to say when my job is not on the line to win with millions invested to make that happen

But it just seems the right thing to do. I would make it more of a rally cry on the team "they say you guys can't win without Sorsby let's prove them wrong"

Betting under age and across state lines etc. It's not getting better.

The ruling just stated he is eligible to play, Tech is saying they will continue to evaluate him and his recovery and if he will play.....

Joey said as much at the Houston TD club.....He is recovering, will he be ready to play? we don't know

Tech receives a lot of money from both the Higher Education Fund and the Texas University Fund, so its not like they have been left out in the cold.

The entire HEAF (or HEF if you prefer) doles out about $400 million annually across all the schools it supports, of which Tech is a recipient.

The PUF is worth about $30 billion and pays out about $1 billion every year to UT and $500 million every year to A&M.

It's really silly to compare them.

This again?

TVM made a comment in this thread about the quality of Tech academically. The PUF discussion is a direct response to that. It is a tangent, yes. But it is part of the discussion. Keep scrolling if you don't care for it.

It was this comment specifically:

Quote:

Tech never caught hell on this board, that much, for their sports teams. It was always about them lagging behind academically. I don't know if Campbell is spending on the university, but if he was, nobody would notice due to this sort of high profile cluster****.

I brought it up because Campbell is in fact spending an astonishing amount of money to help Tech with its 2030 initiative. But it would help if the state did a better job of funding universities across the board, which the state of Texas can certainly do.

I totally understand CC looking at it this way. Bought an expensive thing and can't use it. He's mad at Lane Kiffen especially. driving up the price. really sunk the hook. But CC is completely in the dark when it comes to the world around him and college football in its larger context. what a cave man. Mongo Angry

You'll have to forgive him. Last time was first time Tech was relevant in college football since the 1950s

It's really silly to compare them.

Whats silly is to not even have accurate numbers since the HEF was boosted to $787.5 Million every year and reduced the number of schools that have access. The TUF is a $3.9 Billion Endowment that Tech now receives over $60 million a year from.

It's also silly to act like A&M College Station receives all the PUF and AUF cuz its split amongst 6 Universities, HSC, 6 state agencies, and the System office.

These all get a cut

Prairie View A&M University
Tarleton State University
Texas A&M University
Texas A&M University at Galveston
Texas A&M Health Science Center
Texas A&M University-Central Texas
Texas A&M University-San Antonio
Texas A&M AgriLife Research
Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service
Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station
Texas A&M Engineering Extension Service
Texas A&M Forest Service
Texas A&M Transportation Institute
Texas A&M University System Offices

Meanwhile poor little Tech receives $51,379,461 in HEF in 2026 and Tech receives $60,087,811 in TUF in 2025
Over $110 million that they get just for TTU
All taxpayer money every single year outside of the normal formula funding that every school gets.

PUF costs taxpayers $0
Texas A&M College Station only got $52 million from AUF and $110 million for debt service in 2025

Tech always makes excuses and blames everybody but themselves. The perpetual victim continues to hope people will believe their lies

This guy is out of touch, Pete Rose was banned from baseball for doing exactly what he did, betting on his own team…this really isn't that difficult, Tech…remove him from your team or at the very least not let him play a down of football for your team this season.

The Alabama baseball was fired for the same reasons- including having friends go to ballparks and casinos that allowed betting on college baseball games including his own games a few years ago.

Yes….I am failing to see the disconnect here with Tech and their fans…I understand tribal fandom, but this is such a cut and dry situation, not sure how anyone can see it any other way. Unlike some on this thread, I have no ill will towards Tech, I don't care if they are good or not.

Tech has not said the Sorsby will play this season. All they have said is they will continue to support him and evaluate his progress. Even Joey said the possibility of Sorsby playing is a "stretch".

My plan would be support his rehab and him as a person, do not let him play, rally the team around "Tech against the World" this season with Hammond and Jones III dual threat QB rotation. .

Your coach was trying to draw some correlation with other issues with players and how that is handled…Sorsby cheated his sport by betting on his own f'ing football team and Maguire is talking about murder…how delusional can he be…Also, why isn't he already saying he won't play, what more is there to think about? Take the Red Raider glasses off and see it through a different lense.

I am not looking at it through Red Raider glasses and said if it was up to me I would not play him. My hope is that is what Joey/Hocutt/Campbell decide.

Same. As far as I can tell, there are two Tech fans participating in this thread currently, and both of us are of the opinion that Sorsby should not be allowed to play. Not sure what all the consternation is about. Yes, there are some Tech fans that want him to play. I think those people are wrong. I also think the posture of our coaching staff, athletic dept, and school admin is wrong, and I hope they change their position. I have written emails to all of them to that effect.

It's easy for everyone to say "Tech should release him!" when it is not them…..

I've already said if it was up to me I would not let him play but I'm not the coaching staff of administration, and I bet most major universities would be struggling with the decision to be made here

Sorsby is the one at fault here, Tech didn't know about any of this when they signed him . He should remove himself from Tech and declare for the supplemental draft. If he doesn't, Tech should let
Him go

I would stop goal tending for Cody. He's already dug a pretty big hole for tceh and he isn't even employed by them. He's the biggest donor and wields more power than those getting a check from them. He needs to check himself. He looks and sounds like a fool every time he opens his mouth. Just saying….

Who here is goal tending for him? Not like he needs it anyway. He is the chairman of the board of regents.

I think he has done some truly wonderful things for Tech. His posturing on this issue isn't one of them, though.
