Word is he’s got this locked up on Polynarket. He shorted himself. He plays…he gets paid…he doesn’t…he wins his wager.
Gambling is a wonderful thing when you know what you’re doing. And at 3k+ bets this kid certainly knows!

The way Tech is defending him they all must have big bets on him playing

You are right, and the guy is in hot water, but Ridley was a 26 yr old pro NFL player. Sorsby was a 19 yr old freshman college player. And although he did bet on his own team, he was not a starter and was not throwing games or shaving points.
I would argue these 2 cases are similar. A lifetime ban for Sorsby would be extreme. And even banning him from playing this 1 pivotal season is comparable to a lifetime ban, as this could be his last shot at making money from his talent.
So I think he needs punishment, but I also think they can find something suitable that doesn't involve casting him aside and banning him from attempting his greatest opportunity.

He will have 5 million in his bank account. I hope I get “screwed” like that.

Can you explain why you feel you should be saying this as an Ole Miss fan in light of what has recently occurred regarding Chambliss? Just curious how what your school pulled is any less bad.

I dont like it, but it's true. You will all have to face this soon.

If you can't understand the difference between arguing with the NCAA on what documents are needed to be granted a medical redshirt (which has been applied with absolutely no consistency by the NCAA over many years) v. a player gambling on his own games there's no helping you. It's not comparing apples to oranges. It's comparing applies to a 747.
Chambliss, Pavia, the 100 other athletes given additional years do not cause the public to look at a final score and ponder "wonder if Vegas caused this result".

You’re splitting hairs over bullshite to tailor a ridiculous argument that favors your stance. But let’s call a spade a spade - Pavia should never have been allowed to play and neither should Chambliss. Let alone the fact that if I’m not mistaken, every judge that weighed in on Chambliss was an Ole Miss grad. Keep flying close to the sun though, I suppose I’d be ecstatic if we had something beneficial go our way - but that doesn’t really matter because we always manage to shoot ourselves in the dick no matter what lol.

How does absolutely any of that make you question the final outcome on the field? Should there be strict eligibility rules? Yes. Should there be strict academic rules? Yes. Should there be strict recruiting rules? That's all entirely separate from gambling on the sport and what Sorsby did.
There's a massive difference between eligiblity rules / recruiting rules / etc and just handing the keys over to Vegas.

It’s all the same. Piss and crap look different but they are still both excrement.

I think Iowa or somewhere
Right - from what I recall many of those that got nailed at Iowa and Iowa State primarily got caught by state law enforcement for using fake accounts to get around age restrictions -and were found to be just small time betting (sitting around bored on a school night type stuff). If they gambled on their own sport or on any sport at their school they got banned - effectively ending their NCAA college careers. They have to be looking at this and saying what the hell?
The ISU QB (Hunter Dekkers) got a lifetime ban because he... wait for it... bet on his own sport and school. Dekkers completed 366 total mobile sports wagers totaling $2,799. Approximately 297 of those wagers were made when he was under 21, the legal gambling age in Iowa. This included a $15 bet on ISU to beat OU when... wait for it... he was a backup QB for ISU behind Brock Purdy.
For those arguing that Sorsby is just a kid and it would be tragic for this to end a poor kids career should know that Dekkers did play at a community college, was then on the Saints practice squad and in then the UFL. He got is chances again... and had he been good enough he'd probably be in the NFL right now. So the NCAA ban was not a death sentence - but a harsh consequence, as it should be.

He bet against his own team and his own teammates.
There is no way to spin that in a positive way.

A couple NFL head coaches have hinted that he'll never play in the NFL. Though I tend to agree with you that someone will take a chance on him.

If it was a no name player, he would have lost the injunction (or never even sued) and this would never have even been an issue.

Exactly, now across the sport every bad interception, missed tackle, dropped catch, etc, will be a question

Not sure what Sorsby did is criminal
I’m sure they could work up a wire fraud case on him.
From what I understand, he also placed bets while at Tech. Gambling in Texas is illegal, and if he used a proxy, that to is illegal

There’s no way to spin a lot of this stuff and I think most of us are tired of it. Used to just be a Bagman and then whoever had the most money and, very importantly, best recruiters(we’ve done it - but always had shite recruiters in a small state with a lot less SEC-level talent). I’m even fine with NIL as long as it truly is compensation based on “Name, Image, and Likeness” otherwise, call it something else like an athletic contract - but make them binding, etc. the transfer and extra years worth of eligibility argument is bs and there’s honestly no place for betting on your sport while you’re playing it or coaching it - that’s for us as fans to get to do. Everyone is forgetting that this little shithead is betting while getting paid NIL money as well - that’s also stupid - bet on the frickin stock market with that money and a good financial advisory who isn’t in your “posse”.

Sorsby will forever taint any game he plays in, any mistake will be seen as potential point shaving/throwing games. No GM will touch him due to the optics and backlash from fans after any loss

Some things are worthy of a lifetime ban. Betting against your own team and against your own teammates like Sorsby did at Indiana is one of them.

Does it really matter at this point? They've allowed college football to become a big piggybank that all the good-ole-boy networks and playbook odds makers are breaking into unrecognizable pieces and emptying out. Once they've swiped up every last nickel, they won't put the sport back together. They'll have made their fortune, so what will they care? College football is gone. What's in it's place now is a semi-pro league where school loyalty means nothing, historical rivalries are just another game and the sport isn't part of building the "student athlete" as much as creating a ready farm system for the NFL.
It's a freaking, depressing and foreseeable joke.
