So Brendan Sorsby is now allowed to play football.
This is bad. I'm all for forgiveness and second chances, but this individual bet nearly $100K on games - many of which involved the team he played for - and has an admitted addiction to the hobby that is expressly prohibited by the sport.
And now a judge from his college's state has said that his banning is too harmful to his mental health and gave an injunction that puts this guy back on the competitive field.

Hope that judge was paid well because his legacy is this crappy decision
He “came out of retirement” for this one.
One can only imagine the decisions he rendered in his day.
Horrible decision. God forbid you hold the gambling addict accountable.

It's VERY Bad...let's hope this ruling is overturned on appeal. In the interim, it would be
interesting to know if Colleges can ban such players under their own publicly stated Ethics standards.

Of course they can. Don't expect that from TT though. But there is a better question...
Texas Tech already appealed to the NCAA to reverse their ban. It was denied last week which led to the Texas judge issuing the injunction. So, don't expect them to un-whore themselves by now suspending him from the team.
This begs the question, would any NCAA school refuse to play Texas Tech if Sorsby is in uniform. That is what the NCAA, in their early stages, would rely on for enforcement if any school refused to abide by their rulings. It would take a lot of courage to do, to the point that no school is going to do that. But, that rule is on the books with the NCAA and its member schools.
I like your thinking…whatever it takes to turn this around
