Just one more step into the sh*t for college football

A Texas judge issued a temporary injunction against the NCAA allowing Texas Tech QB Brendan Sorsby to be eligible to play this fall. Regardless of the fact that Sorsby admitted to gambling on his own team multiple times, the judge ruled that he would be unjustly and irreparably injured by taking away his "right" to earn. He was set to make roughly $5M this season. He will merely have to serve a two game suspension to start the season. Of course, those two games are against cupcakes.

The reaction to this may lend support to the bipartisan bill trying to make its way through congress. Obviously, something has to stop the insanity of what major college sports has become, and the NCAA has absolutely no authority to do anything about it.
