Could be ineligible by NCAA which mean you could see a high profile QB entering the supplemental draft 1 Quote

Could be ineligible by NCAA which mean you could see a high profile QB entering the supplemental draft I’ve seen a lot of him as a potential top 10 pick in 2027. He probably would have been the 2nd QB off the board this year IMO. Do you agree? I’d imagine that with all the NIL money he’s collecting his units increased. There’s no more $10 parlays for Mr. Sorsby!! I wonder if he wagered on where Brendan Sorsby would land in the transfer portal? You might have found that on Kalshi or Polymarket. 1 Quote
thenorthremembers Posted April 27 Posted April 27 Was he of legal age when he bet? Did he bet against his own team? If not let the kid be. NCAA going after this kid while putting tons of fanduel adds all over their games is the definition of hypocrisy. 5 8 Quote

When I did my original rankings way back before guys pulled themselves out of the draft I had him at # 4 behind Mendoza, Moore, and Simpson but you could make an argument for him over Simpson in my opinion Quote

Would have to think with betting on his own team (although to win), he could face some nfl punishment, or get blackballed by the league in the supplemental draft. Quote

DrDawkinstein Posted April 27 Posted April 27 Shut all this Sports Betting crap down. It's only speeding up this country's drain circling. Kid is dumb for signing onto any app at this point. 4 10 Quote
Albany,n.y. Posted April 27 Posted April 27 Should have known when the scouting report said he was the 2nd coming of Art Schlichter.😅 3 Quote
Process Posted April 27 Posted April 27 Based on the article whatever bets he made on his team were for them to win and in games he didn't play. He may have trouble with the NCAA, but NFL teams aren't passing on a Top QB prospect over this. It could hurt his draft stock though if he doesn't play next year. Quote

Hes better of entering the supplemental draft vs sitting out and waiting for 2027. There are a ton of teams that would give up a mid round 2027 pick for him in the sup draft. Plus he’s the type of QB you buy low on and in 2-3 years you trade for a 2nd rounder plus 2 2 Quote
BillyJoeBills Posted April 27 Posted April 27 Wow; another breaking story today alongside the Leveon Bell cocaine accusation against Adam Gase. Stupid as stupid does; what team will draft him, not knowing for sure if that slightly errant pass from him on 3rd down in a tight game in the 4th qtr.......was intentional? Quote
DrDawkinstein Posted April 27 Posted April 27 Checked himself into a residential treatment program for gambling addiction. This gambling crap needs to go away again. We're about to have an epidemic of 20-somethings with gambling addictions. This is just the beginning. 1 4 Quote

Bad coaches doing cocaine in the office is an issue. No one cares when good coaches do cocaine in the office. Sean Payton used to do it all the time. He eventually knocked up a cheerleader and his family relocated to Dallas. He was given an ultimatum from his family to come with or divorce. He was commuting in to be the Saints HC. 😂 No one cared. There are lots of jokes about it but everyone turned a blind eye to it. Edited April 27 by Kirby Jackson 1 1 Quote

Sports wouldn't thrive but for gambling and sports radio couldn't financially exist without it. Sports hosts speak out against the dangers of gambling and then in the next moment they cut to a commercial break, where all you hear are Fan Duel, DraftKings and BetMGM. Money talks. Quote

It all did fine for 50+ years. They'll be fine without it. I understand the horse is out of the barn and, like everything else, money is controlling it and ruining the country in the process. 4 Quote

I understand the horse is out of the barn and, like everything else, money is controlling it and ruining the country in the process. I don’t know the right answer but I know it isn’t going away. I had a professor in a sports management class (20 years ago) that used to advocate for all PEDs to be allowed. His argument was that trying to control it hasn’t worked. Stop trying to regulate things that won’t change. The court of public opinion will legislate it. I’m not sure that this applies here but there is something to it. What if every wager made, was publicly available information? Basically, you have to self-identify as a “game fixer?” There’s be some bumps along the way but guys would be risking their careers with every decision instead of hiding in the shadows. We can continue to monitor suspicious activity but if every wager of a certain amount (call it $1k) was publicly available, it would slow (at least I think). Quote

I hope you’re right and I hope money doesnt mess up sports for fans and athletes. Remember the character of "Shoeless" Joe Jackson," played by Ray Liotta in Field of Dreams, who said, "I'd have played for food money. It was the game... the sounds, the smells... Shoot, I'd have played for nothing. Brendon Sorsby should watch that movie in his rehab. Quote
