Prediction: The SEC is going to come out of their meetings trying to revive last years offer from the B1G to move to 16 teams in ‘27 with a commitment for 24 teams to follow 2 years later

Hard work, works. #GoDucks x @OregonTF

Hilarious. The South Carolina trial court order in Tristan Smith v. NCAA cites Sorsby, a Texas trial court ruling issued four days earlier, 958 miles away, on different facts, as "persuasive authority" for its irreparable harm finding. That is not how legal reasoning works. It is not authority. It is not even persuasive authority. Judge Salvini's use of the Sorsby order is absolutely bonkers. A four-day-old preliminary injunction from a different state, applying different law, on different facts, decided by a different trial court judge whose order has not been tested on appeal, has no doctrinal weight whatsoever. Zero. None. I have practiced for decades and have never seen a trial judge cite another trial judge's preliminary injunction from a different state as authority for anything. Grade F. Again. Two incompetent trial judges in two states have now agreed, in the span of one week, that the most basic rules of NCAA enforcement do not apply, on theories that would not survive a first-year contracts exam, citing each other as if they were the Restatement. Utterly depressing. If this is the new normal for state court adjudication of NCAA eligibility disputes, then the only rule left in college sports is the one against losing your case in the wrong venue.

Go Ducks!!

IT'S ALWAYS BEEN AALIYAH 👑👑 BACK-TO-BACK #NCAATF 100H CHAMPION #GoDucks

I'm calling on the Big12 to do the right thing and suspend an athlete who shouldn't be allowed anywhere near the field this season. Rules must apply to everyone. koco.com/article/oklahoma-ge…

In a letter to his presidents and chancellors this week, Greg Sankey outlined revisions that the conference wants made to the Protect College Sports Act and adds that the Act “exposes the SEC to potential lawsuits forcing the conference into the media pooling.”

I’m going to say the part everybody keeps trying to smother with soft lighting and school-colored spin: This Texas Tech defense of Brendan Sorsby is not noble. It is not brave. It is not some deeply moving stand for second chances. It is a beautifully produced excuse factory with a quarterback depth chart attached. And I’m sorry, but some of us still remember when gambling was the one line sports absolutely, positively did not let you tap dance across. Baseball knew it. Basketball knew it. Football knew it. College athletics knew it. Every athlete who has ever sat through a compliance meeting knows it. You do not bet on games. You certainly do not bet on games connected to your own program. That is not complicated. That is not hidden in fine print. That is not some NCAA mystery written in invisible ink and stored behind a locked filing cabinet in Indianapolis. That is Day One stuff. That is “don’t touch the stove” stuff. That is “the bridge is out” stuff. And now Texas Tech wants everyone to gather around, dab our eyes, admire the production quality, and pretend this is really about compassion? No. Compassion is helping Brendan Sorsby get well. Compassion is making sure he has treatment, accountability, support, and people around him who care more about his soul than his stat line. Compassion is not pretending the rulebook suddenly caught a stomach virus because the quarterback room got uncomfortable. That’s not grace. That’s roster management wearing a halo. And that’s where this whole thing starts smelling like a booster-club candle called “Selective Accountability.” Because let’s be painfully honest. If this were a third-string offensive guard from a school ESPN only mentions during weather delays, there would be no emotional video. No moral campaign. No carefully scripted institutional defense. No dramatic music. No “we stand with our guy” tour. There would be a violation. There would be a consequence. There would be silence. But because it’s a quarterback who can help win games, suddenly the red line needs context, therapy lighting, and a legal team. Nope. Wrong. Try again. Sports cannot survive if gambling violations become public-relations projects. The integrity of the game cannot depend on how many boosters are nervous. Rules cannot only apply to the guys who are not talented enough to become inconvenient. And second chances do not have to include first-team reps. I hope Brendan Sorsby gets help. Truly. I hope he heals. I hope he grows. I hope five years from now this is a painful chapter in a much better story. But he does not need NCAA eligibility to become whole. He does not need a starting job to be supported. He does not need the rest of college football to pretend that a clear line was suddenly blurry just because Texas Tech found a camera crew and a sympathetic script. Sometimes love tells the truth. Sometimes support still says no. Sometimes consequences are not cruelty. And sometimes the most compassionate thing anyone can do is stop treating accountability like it’s a disease we need to cure. You crossed the line. Now the line has to matter. #BrendanSorsby #TexasTech #NCAA #CollegeFootball #SportsBetting #SportsIntegrity #AccountabilityMatters #PersonalResponsibility #CollegeFootballNews #NCAAFootball #CameronDole @espn @TexasTech @TexasTechFB @TechAthletics @Big12Conference

Barely mentioned in the Sorsby discourse: Almost everything he did was illegal. -- Underage gambling -- Using other peoples' identities/accounts -- Sending money to friends out of state to place bets for him. The latter 2 could incriminate others as well. (Continued.)

That was probably the best single-day sprint meet / short hurdle meet ever 9.72 (2.2) 19.63 43.38 12.90 Those times would podium in every single race EVER RUN. All Olympic and World Championships, every Diamond or Golden League, NCAA any meet anywhere EVER!

Nothing like winning a national championship in front of a home crowd at Hayward Field 😎 Simeon Birnbaum takes us through the final seconds of his win in the 1500m 🏃

Men of Oregon finish FIFTH at the 2026 NCAA Outdoor Championships with 4️⃣0️⃣ points. Completes a trio of top-five national finishes during the 2025-26 season... XC - 5️⃣th Indoor - 🥈 Outdoor - 5️⃣th #GoDucks

There’s only one person on the planet who could bring an end to the Sorsby debacle that we haven’t heard from: Brendan Sorsby. If Sorsby wanted people to believe he’s a good guy who regrets making mistakes that’s he’s going to own - and not dodge - he could announce tomorrow that, for the benefit of college football and his teammates, he will not play college football during the 2026-27 season. By doing so, he would be demonstrating more integrity than the rest of the Texas Tech administration combined. By not doing so, he will end up being a cautionary tale about hubris and putting one’s own interests above the interests of others.

I may have to delete my account. I’m so embarrassed to be a Red Raider today.

Brendan?
