    Texas Tech transfer quarterback Brendan Sorsby is checking into a residential treatment program for a gambling addiction.

    Legalized sports betting (or “futures contracts” per CFTC….) and presto, no longer does a gambler (futures contract trader) need a trip to Nevada, a reservation casino, a bookie. Not only that but so many people are able to easily gamble from their phones now the winnings for every gameplay...

    Texas Tech transfer quarterback Brendan Sorsby is checking into a residential treatment program for a gambling addiction.

    Instead of going after individual players the schools that enable this could be ostracized. That would take strong leadership which is nowhere in sight. Has the Big 12 taken an aggressive stance re: TT. I’ll be shocked…it could cost them money in the near term.

    Texas Tech transfer quarterback Brendan Sorsby is checking into a residential treatment program for a gambling addiction.

    Sorsby is the tip of the iceberg. But let’s be real, officials and conferences have always had their fingers on the scales when it comes to fair competition. Maybe I’m cynical. Do I believe a QB will intentionally throw 4 interceptions to make $500k? I don’t know. Probably not? Depends...

    Texas Tech transfer quarterback Brendan Sorsby is checking into a residential treatment program for a gambling addiction.

    I’m not sure if he has an NFL future but assuming not Sorsby has a golden opportunity to make bank on prop bets this season. Given his demonstrated lack of impulse control and gambling addiction Texas Tech football will be a three ring circus unless they eject him off the campus and soon.

    Senators Unveil Details of 'Protect College Sports' Act

    Dellenger said on his pod today that Texas Tech and PE super fan Cody Campbell (and wife) “donated” $500K to Mr. Cruz to help birth this abomination. Not sure what he gave to Cantwell.

    Senators Unveil Details of 'Protect College Sports' Act

    This is a real “split the baby” document everyone can or should be upset about. I’m surprised the democrats signed on although it gives lip service to preserving Olympic and women’s sports so there’s that. I could be wrong on cursory read but it doesn’t seem to have any real teeth on...

    We've got Grey Duck beer sales for NIL, meanwhile...University of Utah nearing landmark private equity deal expected to generate $500 million

    The last sentence should be what every fan and player is asking. Surely no kickbacks or other arrangements were made. This^ Best case scenario. The company entities will be driven into the ditch, and on the other side of the transaction the more gullible limited partner investor returns can...

    Surprise at #4 - CBS Projects Gophers Drake Lindsey to Get Drafted #4 Overall; Greg Johnson 15th

    Great numbers for a guy on a below average offense. In my worthless opinion he’s… very, very good with all the intangibles. Expectations are off the chart for this fall.

    In an important case for NIL enforcement, an arbitrator upheld a CSC decision denying 18 Nebraska players' deals worth millions of dollars.

    It has to do with the concepts of: associated entities doing deals at the behest of schools, NIL compensation as a “valid business purpose”, and “warehousing”. Tortured language and logic which I believe I saw is already under attack from Kessler and Co; to differentiate Playfly from...

    In an important case for NIL enforcement, an arbitrator upheld a CSC decision denying 18 Nebraska players' deals worth millions of dollars.

    The middleman Playfly did not adequately justify why the contracts were worth ____. Ok, they’ll come back with some made up bull**** and I suppose that’ll pass muster. Guys, guy, guys. Everyone knows this is pay for play. You present this to an impartial jury and you will lose 100% of the...

    Drake incident poll. What's your opinion?

    Of all the potential character issues this is the least concerning one possible. Sure, if it was part of a larger pattern of behavior, conduct, attitude then we can talk.

    Drake incident poll. What's your opinion?

    Agreed, while some rats asses are worse than others 😬. Some would also say they don’t giving a flying **** which is another interesting saying since for most of us that would be pretty awesome and pretty interesting

    Drake incident poll. What's your opinion?

    Don’t kids pass the bottle, drink beer at the: Apartment Parent’s house Campground Woods anymore. Clearly the fake ID industry still has some issues (let’s see it?). Not nothing but a small error in judgment and a small chink in the perceived character armor but who among us is perfect.

    "I'll put up the money and we can go get Fernando [Mendoza]." Mark Cuban tells FOS that he provided the NIL money which allowed Indiana to sign QB

    No, sorry I wasn’t more clear. As much as I wish Cuban would just come out and give a number he and Indiana probably benefit from a little ambiguity. The narrative last season (after the narrative they were overrated died) was Indiana went out and paid top dollar for their team which by any...
