ESPN created this monster: TV money and legalized gambling ruined college sports

Ya got trouble right here in college football. Trouble with a Capital T that rhymes with B and stands for Brendan Sorsby.

Or so the NCAA would have you believe.

Sorsby is a vagabond college football quarterback who just signed to play for Texas Tech, his third team. The school will pay him $5 million.

But Sorsby bet $90,000 on college football games, which of course is against the NCAA rules. The team sought an injunction in its home county (Lubbock) against enforcing the rule. The local judge recused himself and Tarrant County Judge Ken Curry popped out of retirement to grant the injunction until the case is argued after the season ends.
