Sad to see this happen. Zaleski was well‑liked, the players trusted her, and she did a lot of the relationship‑building behind the scenes that people don’t notice. Wish her the best wherever she ends up.

He losing his hair(what's left of) fast. Besides, If even Josh Pate - the most neutral, non‑confrontational guy in college football media - won’t defend Tech, you know it’s bad. When he basically shrugs and says ‘yeah, that’s on y’all,’ the conversation is over

Good post, but you’re still blending NCAA rules with federal law. Betting on your own team is an NCAA issue, not a federal case. You only get federal heat with actual game‑fixing, fraud, or money laundering - none of which apply here. Taking the under twice isn’t a crime, it’s just bad gambling.

Totally with you - Campbell’s statement really does read like that. The whole ‘broken system’ line feels more like posturing than anything grounded in reality

Betting on your own team is an NCAA violation, not automatically a federal crime. The feds only step in when there’s game‑fixing or fraud, and nothing in Sorsby’s case hits that threshold.

Campbell calling this a ‘broken system’ is rich coming from the guy who only shows up when Tech needs a checkbook and a scapegoat. The system didn’t break - your quarterback did. And now you’re trying to spin it like you’re some heroic reformer instead of the booster cleaning up yet another mess with a PR statement and a wallet

I get where you’re coming from - the injunction does give Tech some breathing room. But even with an open‑ended order, these things don’t exist in a vacuum. When eligibility impacts multiple conferences and the competitive structure of a national sport, courts usually move faster than they would in a normal civil dispute. And the NCAA isn’t limited to waiting on the same timeline as a divorce case or a local property dispute. They can request an expedited hearing, and judges often grant those when the consequences reach beyond one county or one school. So while delay is possible, it’s not guaranteed, and it definitely doesn’t mean the NCAA is boxed in. There are still several paths for this to move quickly

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

Cody Campbell pops up so reliably with a money bag I’m convinced his LinkedIn just says ‘Professional Cash Appearance" 😄

No, the NCAA can’t ban Tech from the playoff over something that happened before he ever got there. That’s not how their bylaws work. But they don’t need to. The NCAA has a much simpler hammer: if he’s ruled ineligible and Tech plays him anyway, every game he steps on the field becomes a forfeiture. That’s the real leverage, and it applies no matter what county courthouse tries to protect him.

they can Push for an expedited hearing, they can appeal the injunction, they can drop the forfeiture hammer. Most likely response? The NCAA immediately asks for an expedited hearing and gets it.

exactly....A Lubbock alumni reunion in robes doesn’t control national eligibility, and it won’t stop the NCAA from pushing for an expedited hearing or dropping the forfeiture hammer if they need to. All this does is make Tech look even more desperate.

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.

see?

Nobody....we winning this game

Texas didn’t just sign a good player in South - they signed a left‑handed catcher who hits like she’s trying to tear the cover off the ball and runs like she’s late for class. Yeah, she’s a lefty behind the plate, and some folks get weird about that - but when you’re dropping a .620 average, 23 bombs, 20+ steals, and playing clean defense, those ‘concerns’ turn into other teams’ problems real fast. Stevie South is a unicorn. Nobody else in the country is bringing in a lefty catcher with that kind of production. That’s not recruiting - that’s theft. While other programs brag about ‘solid signees,’ Texas is adding a kid who could start for half the SEC tomorrow. Mike isn’t rebuilding....he’s stockpiling weapons the rest of the league can’t even shop for. speaking of lefty's, let's get that lefty pitcher from Texas State.....😀

she is really good....could become a freshmen starter

Think you’re mixing up two different things: (1) how many hours UT accepts vs. (2) how many hours UT will actually apply to your major. UT doesn’t cap transfer hours at 60. You can bring in 90, 100, 117 - whatever. The issue is that UT requires 50% of your major coursework to be completed at UT, not 50% of your total hours. So the “lost” hours aren’t thrown away by policy - they just don’t fit into the degree plan because the student already used up too many major‑specific slots somewhere else. That’s why juniors get squeezed: they’ve already taken upper‑division courses that UT won’t substitute for its own major requirements. Freshmen/sophomores slide in clean. Grad transfers slide in clean. Juniors are the ones who hit the wall. It’s not a hard cap on 60 hours - it’s a major‑specific residency requirement. That’s why White targets players with two years left. It’s structural, not philosophical.

Look, everyone’s circling pieces of the truth here, but the actual situation is pretty simple: UT accepts your transfer credits, but that doesn’t mean they all apply toward a UT degree. That’s the whole ballgame. Texas requires you to complete 50% of the hours for your major at UT. That’s why freshman and sophomore transfers slide in clean, grad transfers are easy, and juniors are the ones who get squeezed. It’s not that UT “throws away” credits - it’s that a junior who already banked 60–75 hours may suddenly only have room for 30–40 of them to count toward a UT degree plan. That can absolutely add a year. This is exactly why White usually targets players with two years left. It’s not a mystery, it’s math. As for Swan: She graduated early, she’s a grad transfer, and she’s reportedly been accepted to UT Law. None of that has anything to do with the undergrad 50% rule.

Is this true? I would have guessed LB Jhadyn Nelson

We could pack more people in if we wanted to. We don’t need a new stadium. We need Texas to stop flirting with expansion like it’s a summer crush and finally put a ring on it. The Disch was literally designed to be built out - the bones are already there. Tonight just proved (again) that Texas baseball can pack 9–10k when it matters. So no, we don’t need to bulldoze anything. We just need to finish the expansion the architects drew up a decade ago instead of acting like 8,550 is some kind of ceiling. The only thing holding capacity back right now is Texas deciding it’s time to act like the program that just set the NCAA attendance record at the Disch.

That was a Sandy Koufax drop off the table ball....he wasn't hitting that.

can't wait for Monday to get here 😀

LOL
