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.

I’m not sure this is over. This is getting A LOT of bad attention.

Big12 schools want to drop play against TT in all sports. Wah wah. Thanks for taking heat off ND.

Yep, that's what I was pointing out in the post right below. There is a mechanism in place for this

If TT coach had any guts (or integrity) he would just not play Sorsby. I'm sure it will happen. NOT!

Seriously?, T T already appealed on his behalf to reverse the ban. The denial led to the injucntion
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.
This should go to higher courts...
Outside of Texas.
The NCAA has not, so far, decided to appeal the courts decision

I think they have.It'd go to Amarillo Court of Appeals first though.Ultimately could go to TX SC but
it is questionable if it would be in time to prevent Sorsby from playing. It has been said on another site that these type of interlocutory orders do get moved to the front of the line, but.....
I got this information off of an SEC site, so I cannot vouch for its' validity, but if anybody is going to know about college football cheating it would be them - the only higher source would be a Michigan football website - but I can't bring myself to do that.
Good. I did not see that. In any case, it may not affect Sorsby's play this fall. but...
still be used to strengthen any case they have in the future. As you point out, there are ways to expedite the case.
This should come as a suprise to no one.
Would like to face them and pound em.
He completed gambling anonymous program... buttoned up now ready to roll

This isn’t changing. The ncaa abdicated any control buy doing nothing
For years. No collective agreements or contracts limiting this garbage.
Which group will shot loud enough to do anything about this? Probably nobody. Nobody followed the rules in place before anyway. the rules aren’t even rules anymore. Are we surprised?
Colleges sports is not legit. It’s a joke and a travesty and EVERYONE is to blame.
Unbelievable that any judge would rule this way. Well, then again....

Texas judge probably elected...what did anyone expect?
The NCAA should have called for a different venue.
Is it a conflict of interest if your son is a TT alum?
First judge recused because he is a graduate, second guy graduated from a different school but is son graduated from TT. It is a confusing ruling.
I thought it was his son in law, but yes. It is hard to imagine an honest judge ruling this way.
