Carter Smith, a four-star guard in the class of 2028, will take an unofficial visit to Illinois on Tuesday, source tells @247Sports 247sports.com/player/carter-…

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

Two weeks ago, Dane Eisenmenger was set to go to the Central Missouri Mules' in D2. Then the #illini called his high school coach & offered him a spot on Illinois Other D1 schools recruited Dane, but he couldn't pass up Illinois He was a star QB at Unity HS, right by U of I

Texas Tech Football releases their new football field design for the upcoming season 🔥

"It's becoming clear that Texas Tech overpaid for a mid-tier starting QB and now they have to double-down on their decision by gaslighting everyone into thinking he's a victim"

Double down. Triple down. Dig deeper. Threaten. We're all the good guys, you idiots just don't see it. We did nothing wrong but we'll sue your ass. Do the right thing. He didn't kill anyone. You know what? Let him start. Let the whole world see how insane you all have gone for this degenerate, mediocre-at-best QB that you gave $5 million to who went 13/25 for 69 yards and 1 INT against an awful Nebraska team last year. Sheesh.

Big Ten will not prohibit schools from scheduling Texas Tech, sources told @On3. League will allow schools to schedule non-conference opponents as they desire. Nebraska is only B1G school that said it won't schedule future games vs. Texas Tech. 1st reported by @ralphDrussoATH

Hasn't anybody taken a step back to consider how insane it is make this big of a fuss about BRENDAN SORSBY?

Ferris State opens at No. 1 in our Way-Too-Early D2 Football Rankings. Who has the best chances of taking over the top spot this season? #D2Top25 | @FloCollege

So, the 2025 3A state title game featured record breaking performances from both teams. Byron's Caden Considine ran for 367 yards. Unity's Dane Eisenmenger threw for 545 yards. They are now both going to Illinois.

Quentin Coleman records his third double-double in 4 games for @usabjnt with 15 points (6-9 FG), 10 rebounds & 2 assists. The #Illini signee leads the entire field in rebounding, ranks 8th in scoring and is a team-high 112 for the tournament entering Sunday's gold medal game.

Got punters out here looking like Machine Gun Kelly

Yeah let's keep pretending what is basically a 23 year old stadium is some crumbling ruin that the Bears can't possibly keep playing in.

NCAA Division I Board moved forward with age-based eligibility today, making changes where the clock would start when the athlete turns 19 or enrolls in college, sources tell @On3. The formal vote is not set until the end of June, when it is widely expected to pass.
