When an SEC school says you’re too slimy to even play against?!!?

Bullying is about to work, folks. Just give it some time.

I don't know if I would call it bullying per se.  Honestly, not sure what word I would use. Protesting? 

 

Regardless, I think this approach will have legs.

A bunch of people are ganging up together and saying “we aren’t playing with you anymore”.

My 5 and 7 year old call that bullying. And it’s going to work.

What can Tech do?  Just agree to not play him?

A bunch of people are targeting an organization based on their role/policy.  My old ars calls that protesting. And I think it’s going to work. Lololol

Texas Tech won the Big XII last season, and they got more than enough talent this year alone to win again.

The whole point wasn't to play him, but to stick it to the NCAA.  A lot of these guys are never going to make it to the NFL, so they want to milk as much NIL as possible.  And unfortunately, now we're at that point where we must ask "Okay, how long are you going to actually stick around in college, because you can't spend your entire life playing college football".

Not playing him would probably make some amends, but I think we've crossed that proverbial Rubicon at this point.

Lets all think of the positive. Sure, it seems like the collapse of a beloved sport. But there happens to be top DL in the nation that is committed to a team that is currently in a swirl of controversy. Any drama around Tech certainly could not hurt our chances at landing Mr. Brewster

So bad for the sport on so many levels but not at all unexpected that he got an injunction.  If they allow him to play, the betting with only get worse and the outcomes of the games will be in question.  If they don't, he will likely sue again and win.  It's a catch 22.  Betting is an addiction.  The kid needs help for sure.  If Cincy knew and did nothing, they are definitely a part of the problem.  Tech clearly did not know when they signed him.  If you cared about the kid at all (UC), you would have sat him and got him some help.  Tech wants to win.  They see him as their best path so of course they are going to push to play him at all costs.  They can win the B12 no problem without him but the playoffs...they will need a capable qb and their young backup is likely not enough to get them to where they think they can go.  The next several weeks will be very interesting with the pressure to see what TTU decides to do.
