So can we put a massive bet on to throw one of our cupcake non-conference games as a way to fund our NIL? If we don’t have more NIL we will irreparably damaged. Tongue in cheek of course but this is moral bankruptcy!

The decision is total bs and the judge had no real basis for the opinion rendered.  I hope the NCAA jumps on this fast.

Can’t be.  You’re telling me the sponsor of the “fix college sports” bill, Mr Cody Campbell, is supporting betting on your own team?  
 

And here I thought Cody Campbell was good person who cared about fixing the game.  

Tech is proving Men in Black correct: when you take a cockroach and turn it huge and give it a tremendous amount of power, the world will suffer the destructive consequences as a result.

Tech can spend all the millions it wants to try and buy into the big boys club; to me they will always be nothing more than a bunch of roaches.

I could easily see a future where the SEC and Big Ten don't completely leave the NCAA, but instead create a separate football governance structure with:

• Their own eligibility rules
• Their own NIL framework
• Their own enforcement staff
• Their own gambling investigations and penalties
• Their own arbitration process outside of NCAA enforcement

At some point, the question becomes: if the NCAA can't consistently enforce eligibility rules, gambling rules, or its own disciplinary decisions without courts stepping in, what exactly is it governing? The more that perception grows, the easier it becomes for the SEC and Big Ten to argue that they need their own football governance structure with their own rules, enforcement, and appeals process.

lmao

Cody Campbell 

Honestly, this isn't an NCAA problem. The exact same arguments could have been made if the NFL tried to enforce their rule. When you have a corrupt judge with an agenda, you can get your way for at least a period of time. The difference is, there is no TEAM in the NFL that would allow this to happen. This is 100% a Tech issue.

Right now, I think the Texas Legislature and their ability to defund or financially punish Tech is the only thing that has any power. It won't happen, but I would love to see Abbott call a special session to address Tech's conduct.

Would guess Cody is a big donor of Abbott

Funny thing is, the CFP committee doesn't have to rank Tech in top 11, right?

I mean, who's a better team, this year's Tech or last years ND (or Texas fwiw)

So basically you can get away with anything in the NCAA, why not tamper and steal Guyton from them?

Anyone else think this might sway some recruits and their family away from tech after this ruling and especially all the tech coaches and higher officials statements following it 

I hope when the SEC and Big Ten leave the NCAA they leave Tech to rot 

So Judge Ken Curry basically said Sorsby can’t do game‑day activities for the first two games, which is adorable, because that’s the exact same punishment Tech gives their quarterbacks when they’re healthy

Every Power 4 non-conference opponent should immediately drop Tech from their non-con schedules ... oh wait

Oh ok i feel better now since he is going to do all this. 🤣

This injunction doesn’t mean Sorsby ‘won’ anything - it just freezes the NCAA’s penalty until a real hearing. It’s the legal equivalent of a divorce judge saying, ‘Nobody change the locks until we talk.’ That’s it.

I would imagine the NCAA is absolutely going to push for that hearing before Week 1, and they’ve got a strong argument because eligibility decisions are time‑sensitive and affect every team, not just Tech.

And if the timing doesn’t work out? The NCAA still has the nuclear option: declare any game he plays in a forfeiture. A Lubbock County judge doesn’t get to dictate eligibility for games in Austin, Norman, Manhattan, Stillwater, or anywhere else in the NCAA footprint.

The bigger picture: if this actually stood long‑term, college football is cooked. You can’t have players betting on games and then hide behind a friendly local court. Every AD, every compliance office, every coach in America is furious about this. Tech and Sorsby just made themselves the poster children for ‘why the sport needs guardrails.’

So no - this isn’t over, and it’s definitely not the win Tech fans think it is.

No, it means effectively he has won. 

 

I now find it ironic that little Joey mentioned last week in SA they should know something by Monday, hmmmm

It's not quite the same though. 

A temporary restraining order used in a divorce proceedings has a 2 week maximum shelf life.  It's used to keep things "civil" until a temporary hearing can be had to establish things like temporary child support, who lives in the house, etc.

In this case, the temporary injunction is good until further notice.  All Tech has to do now is delay, delay, delay.  Even if the NCAA files for a stay on the injunctions, this would take months.

I too thought there would be an expediated hearing on this matter but from I can tell, there's not.

If you can’t enforce rules, then there is no point in having rules. If a judge cannot see that, then he should no longer be a judge. 
 

This was a very simple decision.
