Hornung, and a host of others who were threatened and/or coerced by bookies (some of whom lived out their lives like schnooks).

TBC, I'm not to be flippant about this. The players need to be educated the same way professionals are when they enter the league. They are pros, so they've got to follow certain rules that the general population doesn't. Coaches need to be involved too.

He only bet on his own team, and only bet on them to win!!

is that LV is now a professional sports town.

Would still be miles better than current sitch.

There has to be a greater penalty than some rehab.

Less than 3 years ago, 6 Iowa wrestlers were suspended. 4 were suspended the entire year. At least 2, both All Americans, had their collegiate careers ended for gambling. What were they gambling on? Women's college basketball, and specifically Caitlin Clark games.

If the guy is betting on his own team, I can't imagine a world where he gambles on his own team and can still come back from that.

Have already dumped millions into lobbying efforts to ensure there is no congressional movement to limit access, etc. Cat is out of the bag, cow has left the barn, what have you...

As in, admit you bet, throw yourself on the mercy of the court and do everything we tell you to get reinstated, or it's a lifetime ban.

As everyone knows, Charlie Hustle infamously didn't accept the offer.

It's too accessible by MILES now.

Absolutely agree that the whole concept of legalized sports wagering is a disaster. But I guess if this is where we're at, really needs to decide what we're willing to choke down as "acceptable". Even if he was a RS frosh that wasn't playing, this should be an easy redline.

But even if the NCAA makes such a ruling, we all know this will end up in front of a friendly judge in West Texas who will provide some form of TRO allowing him to play.

But I'm so suspicious of everything that Texas Tech is doing now that my first reaction to this is to think that they heard this story was about to break, so they told Sorsby to announce that he's going to rehab in an effort to try to water down whatever punishment might come from this.

Which, given the "powers" that the NCAA has currently, will probably be the lightest slap on the wrist possible.

We have entirely killed a good thing with this gambling shit.
