While McConaughey was the most memorable everyone brought their A game as there wasnt a weak performance.
He used fake accounts and used his brothers to place bets for him. How is that not fraud?
I appreciate the info!
I had no idea there were different pegs for different applications. I'll look into that Haro
Thanks!
Lets check the justices on the appellate court the Seventh Court of Appeals of Texas in Amarillo....
Chief Justice Judy Parker.....from Texas Tech University School of Law
Justice Lawerence Doss....received his J.D. from Texas Tech University School of Law....current Treasurer of the Texas Tech University School of Law
Justice Alex Yarbrough.....Texas Tech University School of Law
Justice Laura Pratt....magna cum laude, from Texas Tech University School of Law
yeah this should go well
Also the truck he drove in that movie was sweet.
McConaughey was the best in that movie though. 'Thats what I love about these high school girls' He played the college dude macking on high school girls so well.
Wouldn't having access to non-public information and betting on a result whether you are using that information or not be illegal?
Umm have you not heard of Polymarket?
Most of the time they are trying to chase the little fish to the bigger fish. So the guy taking his bet (outside "legal" means" won't be punished if he gives up his bigger fish. And these things take time, so it could be years before they even attempt to charge someone else.
They got a guy named "Rylin Seacrist". I wonder how often people call him Ryan Seacrest? ;^)
Wouldn't having access to non-public information and betting on a result whether you are using that information or not be illegal? Insider trading is rarely punished but it is illegal.
He is also under 21 and placing these bets.
I'm surprised the third parties aren't in trouble from a legal perspective either. It would be similar to buying a minor alcohol and then them going out and getting a DWI.
Great movie. He had a pretty small role, but man that cast was loaded.
They will take his money as a gambling addict and just not allow betting on any TT games in which he is involved?
Not a kid or retiree, still doesn't mean I have seen it.
Preach brother.
I firmly believe Sorsby is doing some that he knows is wrong (not unlike an alcoholic knowing it's wrong to get in a car a drive when intoxicated. However, unlike an alcoholic he didn't actually put anyone's safety at risk).
Anyways i cant sit here and act like he is the only (or even most) culpable party. And there is ZERO effort to go after the betting companies, the NCAA, or TTU (until peer programs started speaking out/making threats).
I'm not going to stand here and say I'm happy that sorsby is going after those other parties, but I'm certainly not disappointed.
Props to the other ADs/coaches going after TTU.
and that may be the angle Sorsby and his legal team are playing. He probably knows he's done and has wrecked his chances in the NFL, and this is his one shot to get his bag. He probably doesn't care about playing, he cares about the NIL money. TT has the donors to pay him the NIL money and make this problem go away immediately, which is a far lower figure than dealing with the long-term financial impacts (lost game revenue, legal fees, etc) of trying to push through this.
and this is the unfortunate truth. Legally speaking, Sorsby didn't break any laws. He broke institutional rules (not laws), and now a judge has found that the legal argument made by Sorsby's attorney was sound and that an injunction was warranted.
I hate this.
However this is the bed that the NCAA, athletic conferences, universities, and the Mouse have been making for years and it has now resulted in this train wreck of a situation.
The really unfortunate part is that I expect this to get worse before it gets corrected, if ever.
Bar's example explains how it's possible. Whitehead being consistently rated at 33, but 1 or 2 other players being top 32 in on3/rivals, ESPN, or, 247 rankings, but lower on another service dropping them out of a five star composite rating and letting Whitehead sneak in.
An alternative explanation is that it's ESPN's fault /s
Edit: That being said there are currently thirteen 247 5 stars listed for the 2027 class and thirty-nine listed for the 247 composite (with Whitehead coming in at 34). Rivals has eighteen 5 stars, but thirty-two based on their industry(composite) rating (with Whitehead coming in at 46). Clearly they weigh things slightly different, it's probably still ESPN's fault though.
I think this he was saying none of the services have him in the top 32 but the composite showed him in the top 32. Should be impossible.
His 247 composite is 5-star but none of the individual sites rate him as a 5-star. Not sure how that happens
My understanding is that:
- Every year there are 32 five-star recruits representing the 32 first-round draft picks.
- If all the recruiting services agree that the 33rd best player is the 33rd best player but On3's 32nd best player is 247's 53rd, then that player could fall out of the 5-star range in the composite
.
If you are caught betting on the outcomes of your own games it absolutely must be a lifetime ban from sports competitions.
I'm a honestly shocked that the casinos aren't pushing for the ban to happen. The absolute last thing they want is public confidence in the legitimately of the outcomes of the games they can bet on to be questioned. That's how they lose a lot of money in the long run, so Sorsby being allowed to play completely undermines their entire business model.
The lack of up-votes here tells me there are a whole lot of kids and/or a whole lot of retirees on this particular thread....
send me an angel . from BMX dancing to a full house to defrauding collegiate applications for dimwitted daughters. what a ride
I hope it does.
Oahu had pearl harbor and everything else you can get similar experience on other islands (well not the traffic)
Maui is for beaches, if you want to lay on the beach then goto Maui
Kauai is amazing hiking, kayaking, has the grand canyon, and is gorgeous for those that want to get out and be active
Big Island has just about everything its the most well rounded island. Has the different color sand beaches which looks amazing, has the Costco if you need to stock up for a week which chilling. has just about every climate. Its a trip.
Kauai is where I most want to go back too.
