We'll eventually we'll get somewhere. We'll get this overturned. I mean I don't to me I am not a lawyer but it's not here but I feel like I know enough I have enough reading comprehension to understand what the rule says you can and cannot do and he clearly did something that you cannot do and then openly admitted to doing it on many different occasions he's not exactly like saying no this is not true these are all lies there's no proof he's like oh hell yeah I did that here's why I did it oh okay I guess I can't play anymore like there's no defense. Texas Tech University University President Joey McGuire the head coach it is good this I'm not being cynical about this but it's good business for them to backsource be as loudly and proudly as possible you know in the same way why some schools might opt not to try to pursue legal action against somebody who transfers out of the program because you are also messaging to your future players and the players you're trying to recruit you're trying to show if you come to Texas Tech no matter what happens we are going to stand behind you so I totally understand the motivation from the Texas Tech side especially publicly I think this goes back to my first thought is even if it's a sixth game which also three game four games six game we've got not a lot of precedent here right you know when you know what I think it was dangerous is the president they would set if they only did three four six games but can't this is going to happen again like right I mean it's it's it's almost inevitable that somebody's going to get caught their knuckleheads people aren't that smart like you think you can get away with it somebody else is going to get caught do you really want to set that precedent that oh it's only six games or it's only three games that's why I think that's why I would tend to believe before I talk to Michael McCann I'm like yeah there's no way they're going to let this you know off with a lighter sentence because they don't want to establish that standard. Mm-hmm yeah because when we had your impermissible benefits and those cases were racking up seemingly every single season we'd have one or two there was a little bit of a math problem that you could do where okay this will be about a three or a four game we're like oh gosh this is a six or an eight game when I hear suggestions I think you're just grabbing numbers out of thin air just thinking you know half season quarter season but not with any tie to precedent or the NCAA bylaws along the way again uh I think Will Hammond's really good I think Texas Tech can still win the Big 12 without Brendan Soresby. Yeah whoever put in the chat I hope you grab the under 11 and a half just be careful. I get so when 11 guess you have things so 11 and a half to 10 and a half has been the win total odds move they can still win 11 games absolutely they could yeah um yeah so we will keep you updated obviously on all the latest Will Hammond's latest on recovery is that he could be early as he could be ready as early as week three that's the Big 12 opener against Houston Texas Tech though could be moving through as they've got our boy Kirk Franklin former Tulsa quarterback Kirk Francis Kirk Franklin the former Tulsa quarterback who will be who'll be lining them up to start the season if Soresby can not go lots of buzz coming out of the SEC spring meetings I know our guy Brandon Marcello has been has been down there doing some great work John Tulte as well they've been whether it's Pete Golding weighing in I mean it's Steve Sarkeesian's got ideas I mean this any coach any athletic director Georgia president's talking about breaking away that's the one that Kirby to Kirby to you can see the alignment there you wonder who came up with the First initial suggestion that they possibly could pull away. For the record, I want to say, like, first statement, the SEC could break away and have its own football governance league. I do not think all of college football would be better for it, but I do think that the SEC could do it. But what would that do for the other sports? Like, do you think they could float basketball and everything else just on their own because no other league is going to take them if they break away? So that they just become a football only conference and get rid of everything else? Or they exist as a football only conference, but exist as an NCAA conference and everything else? Would the NCAA let them? Like, say that when I was... If I'm the NCAA and March Madness comes around and like, the SEC schools are like, we don't want to play football with you anymore, we're too good for you. And I'm like, well, we don't want your teams in our tournament. Baseball, softball, like all the other sports. Because football exists with a very, very loose and continuously fraying tie to the NCAA at all, I think the idea of self-governance in football, but remaining an NCAA member in the other sports, they could figure out some way to set this up. No, it could be just a threat to try to get what you want, right? But at least when they heard it, I was like, yeah, they could have their own playoff and not participate in the way that it's existing for everything else. By the way, I do, and that somebody just put in the chat like Kirby crying is kind of not as comical because you didn't hear him complaining about the lack of structure for the past 20 years when it was a free-for-all with bag men under the table and everybody was kind of like, wink, wink, nod, nod. We know it's going on, but we'll look the other way. The other thing is too, are they not worried at all about losing players, like talented players, if they want to have these rules and structure in place? Which, by the way, I hope all of college football would have rules that we actually honor, but if they do it, everybody else doesn't. You don't think those good players, if they want to transfer, they'll be like, all right, I want to
