In what sane world does Brendan Sorsby get to play collegiate football again?

A Lubbock judge.
All he needed was a court injunction. It’s not the final verdict. By the time it goes to trial, he is in the NFL.
In a Texas world - that's where -- this is a classic Texas decision...
the NFL suspended Alex Karras and Pual Hornung for gambling on league games, MLB suspended a RETIRED Willie Mays and Mickey Mantle for simply working as GREETERS at an Atlantic City casino(s)
Only in Texas does a kid get re-instated to collegiate eligibility
Why would any GM even consider giving Sorsby a nickel? Every game of his will be called into question - Every SNAP he would take

Georgia also sent a memo to coaches about not scheduling Texas Tech.
The P4 got exactly what they asked for......
I don't have an ounce of sympathy for their butt hurt selves.
But I do agree this guy shouldn't be anywhere near college athletics. If he is allowed to play, what little guardrails there were on the gambling just got completely decommissioned

This just outlines how the NCAA has no control.
Literally has zero enforcement capabilities.

he shouldn't be anywhere near PROFESSIONAL athletics
Just out of curiosity, does anyone believe that Sorsby is truly a gambling addict like Art Schlicter for instance?

uh...yeah, probably. Based on where Schichter was at the same age as Sorsby. But I don't give a shit whether he has a lifetime addiction or not. His actions are a threat to the very core of athletic competition.
If this wasn’t a nail in the NCAA coffin, I don’t know what will be. Even if their power was all an illusion, the ruse is over.
I know a lot of Tech fans and they’re making it okay in their minds because he never bet on Tech games. Apparently, that’s their line and he’s yet to cross it, so it’s all good.

im ok as long as the betting was on his team to win. this type of judgement wouldnt be Texas only. it would have happened at any court at any P4 school's state.
It wasn’t just betting on his team to win
Ball State opens at Ohio State and are 49 point underdogs.
Every Ball State player should throw a thousand bucks on Ohio State, then roll over and lose by 50+ and collect your winnings.
You aren’t winning the game anyway so might as well make a little cash while you are at it.
Not like you will be penalized for it. And that’s assuming you ever get caught anyway.

That means he will do everything he can to make sure his team covers the spread...which means it's affecting his performance on the field. He could literally attempt a risky play, so that he can cover the spread, instead of just doing the smart/safe play. That risky play could result in a turnover or even a loss, thereby changing the nature of the play on the field.
Yes, the above is a hypothetical, but it's also absolutely a possibility, and it's why gambling on sports as a player or coach should result in stiff penalties, ie suspension or being banned.
Yeah I'm sure every college athlete will just bet on their team to win.....Pay no attention to the fact that it is actually easier and more controllable to help your team lose....But i'm sure these kids are and will always bet on their teams to win....The teams that they have no loyalty or connection too....That they won't be playing for the next season....This will end well....
