ESPN has been negatively talking a lot about a 24-team CFP. I'm not buying what they're selling.

I’m for 16 teams with no bye games but, as we all know, any and all decisions are completely driven by what’s best for the student athletes……

or…. $$$$$$$$$$$$$

I'm just not sure how much longer I can do this if ^^^that^^^ receives any reaction other than a judge laughing him out of a court room. I'm so thankful that this idiot 1) left and 2) didn't come back.

Oh for Chrissake, is that really the best you’ve got? With a couple of months of prep time you can’t lie better than that?

Isn't betting your family's hard earned money on 2022 Indiana Footbal to win punishment enough?

The whole Sorsby thing is a farce... he's admitted to betting on his team (IU) and wants no consequences for breaking the rules? Another example of how bad the NCAA, and some entitled athletes really are.

A couple months of prep time and…lawyers.

Baffling.

Sometimes it's just better to remain silent and let people think you're stupid than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

He bet on IU to win in 2022?

If I was his attorney I’d have him plead temporary insanity.

District judges live in their communities. Not all have integrity, but the ones who do put their professional responsibilities before their personal interests. This judge is a TTech alum for both undergrad and law school. His integrity will be tested.

I can tell you with zero hesitation that if I was the judge for Sorsby and Cig had signed him to be the starting QB at IU, my IU fandom would have zero impact on the decision. And I truly mean that.

Yea.  This will be a test.  I'm no lawyer, but the "asking for one more year of eligibility" cases we usually follow seem much more up for interpretation given how the NCAA applies subjective judgements themselves.  That plus other anti-trust laws and it sort of comes down to should we allow this kid to make the big money the school wants to pay him?  Usually it's yes.

Gambling on your team is different.  It's been much more cut and dry historically across college and pro sports.  We shall see...
