Transcript excerpt: There will be a supplemental draft. There'll be a lot that goes into it. Whatever team selects him will have a huge series of questions to answer and hubbub going into training camp this that and the other. But as we reflect on what got us to the point of Brendan Soresby being declared ineligible under investigation and ultimately having been found to have gambled on his team, the who knew what win has the focus turned on Cincinnati. Now some of that is coming from Brendan Soresby's agent who recently made some comments that included quote in his Ron Slavin. If anybody should be questioned or catching heat, it should be Cincinnati because they knew for two years and never said anything or didn't do anything about it. That's the part of this story that gets lost. Cincinnati offering its own statement on the topic quote, we will reiterate what we have said before all of our student athletes receive extensive gambling education multiple times throughout the year. And we would never knowingly play an athlete who violated NCAA sports wagering regulations. If we ever became aware of impermissible wagering, we would report to the NCAA and comply with sanctions. You have Cincinnati knew and they can prove it and at a minimum all their wins from the last few seasons should be vacated. Big 12 should probably find them. If you were going to stay in Texas, that's what I'm saying. The problem is, can you prove that they knew? The lawyers figured it out. Do we put a pain in this? It's the NFL's problem. I love every fan base. But some fan bases, like when they're setting kick, I'm very annoying. They're at the center of the storm, right? Then it is not something that would deem him ineligible. And so that's where I'm like, well, if they knew, like, what did they know? And like, if he was just gambling and he'd like, and he was like a big gambler, like today's world, like, that shouldn't really be a problem, you know? But if he was gambling on Cincinnati, then it becomes a much more serious problem. Then it becomes a what did Indiana know? And I've seen Texas Tech fans being like, well, what did Indiana know? Shouldn't they have, you know, punishment coming their way? And then, yes, if that was, I think there is a delineation in all of this where some more like, let's put a pin in it as well, but since it was brought up. In 2023, Iowa was no, a Shannon was suspended in lost eligibility for the final year for betting on Iowa's women's basketball. It wasn't betting on its own team. It was a legal age doing something legal betting on a team that wasn't his. NCAA sport, though, that is, it is, it is, it is the NCAA sports wagering rules as I understand them is in se betting on NCAA sanctioned sports, which would make the Reds, which would make Latvian basketball, which would make, you know, other sports gambling opportunities as long as you are of age in a state where it's legal with an account that's yours. I think, I think that's different. They have the bets, right? They know like, we have all the information like, what, how much he bet? So I'm assuming they know what he bet on, right? Because we've seen stories about how he plays however many thousands of bets for $90,000 for however many years. So if the sports books that he did it on are what tipped them off and to begin with, they should know what he bet those, place those bets on. So if he was betting on Cincinnati football or something at the time, we probably would have known that by now. Well, you know, now that actually leads us to a very, very nice bridge to our question because I do will think that karma might be in the, in the cards for both Texas Tech Cincinnati but striker, let's go down to the mailroom. This first question came from Michelle. Michelle says, who has the best college football karma heading into 2026 and who has the worst. And Michelle adds, I'm talking red solo cup type stuff. I, first of all, quick, Bob, I don't know who's got the, the, the flashback. When Danny had the red solo cup on CBS Sports HQ, you know, you were the poop for Halloween, the work that you did to try to reverse that karma. I mean, I tried everything. He's dressed up as poop. And I don't know whether what was or was not reversed. I would say that you got your payoff with the Alabama win.
