I'm shocked that people are shocked by the Sorsby decision
Did people not know, or think, that a Lubbock Co judge would do anything other than rule for Texas Tech?
I mean the filing venue told you the probable judicial outcome.
FWIW, I do get a kick out of the Judge hootin' about (Sorsbys) "irreparable harm" while basically setting aflame player gambling rules across the NFL, NBA, NHL who have now already mobilized their lawyers to join the expected NCAA appeal.

Harsh blowback upon TT over Sorsby from CFB officials
I know they paid him 5m but is he worth it. The "distractions" with him are potentially endless. His basic eligibility is in serious question and if TT plays an ineligible player the NCAA could strip them of wins (ie. no playoffs even if they go undefeated).
TT can't even be happy with this decision because they never bargained for 'rouge nation' status when they turned over their FB program to a monied alum.

inherently puts you in "rogue program" status (or at least in substantial danger thereof).
Apparently Brendan is hopelessly addicted - to the point
that he had to log into the gambling site using a family member's account.

I'm going to enjoy the ND season this year,

but then I'm probably done. It's all just so gross, and I don't really want to be apart of it anymore.
Over the last 5 years I've really limited the amount of games I watch. Last year, I bet I watched 2 full games and parts of most of the others. It doesn't bring the same joy that it used to. Go Irish, I guess...
has anybody ever seen any polling
around public opinion of the direction of collegiate sports? I have to assume it is trending downwards.
What people say and what they do are two different things

I believe ratings are continuing to increase, although public opinion is in the toilet.
FWIW, I didn't watch a single minute of the playoffs this year. I wasn't boycotting, but after the ND snub, I just didn't care. And I went to IU for grad school.

for ND. I'm too invested in that to walk away. But once that happens, I'm fine with what appears to be the inevitable (yet totally unnecessary) self-destruction of college football.
