00:00Obviously, the Brendan Soresby ruling yesterday that came out.
00:04We'll get his thoughts on that for sure because I know he has many, many thoughts on that.
00:08So we'll get to B.A. on that one in about an hour.
00:10I didn't know that Jeffrey Kessler was his lawyer.
00:12Yeah.
00:13Oh.
00:14Yeah.
00:15Oh.
00:16Yeah, they hired the big guns.
00:17Yeah, Jeffrey is the best.
00:19Yeah, he's the best.
00:21He's done so much with the NFLPA and different players.
00:25He's beat the NCAA so many times in so many different cases.
00:28Yeah, he's the man.
00:30So, yeah, I'm not surprised.
00:31I didn't know Jeffrey was his lawyer.
00:32Yeah, it was him and the other guy.
00:35I think his last name is Johnson.
00:36I don't remember.
00:36But, yeah, those two guys have worked on a ton of different lawsuits against the NCAA on behalf of players.
00:42Obviously, like you said, the NFL Players Association as well.
00:45Like, they're the guys to find.
00:46Because they didn't argue that, like, it's okay that Brendan Soresby gambled.
00:50They came up with a defense where it's like maybe there's an argument that this could be argued in the
00:57future
00:57and maybe this one judge would agree with us who happens to be in Lubbock, Texas.
01:01Because that's what an injunction is.
01:02Like, they didn't prove anything.
01:04They got one guy to be like, yeah, maybe.
01:05And then eventually they can make the argument down the road, which probably will never happen.
01:09Because it'll be – what they're doing is really, again, like, I hate every part of it, including what I'm
01:14about to say.
01:15But it's great lawyering.
01:16Like, they're great lawyers.
01:18What they're doing is they're using the slowness of the legal system versus the speed of the college football calendar
01:28against them, which is brilliant.
01:29But there's nobody outside of Jeffrey that could have got this right here.
01:33That's how good this guy is.
01:34This guy is – he's – well, I don't know who paid his fee.
01:39I do.
01:40Cody Campbell.
01:41Yeah, I'm about to say it.
01:42Because, like, he's like 10 an hour probably or something like that.
01:47Yeah, Cody's buying a lot of stuff.
01:49Yeah, he's like 10 an hour.
01:49Which is like, look, I mean, you know, we could do all that.
01:52And we did a little bit of that yesterday for sure.
01:53And it'll continue to be talked about, the decision that was made.
01:57I think everyone – that's the thing.
01:58It's unified college football.
01:59That's for sure.
02:00Everyone's in agreement that this is insane.
02:02Well, I mean, you're in a situation now where you're talking about teams and commissioners and coaches.
02:08Talking about not playing Texas Tech.
02:11You believe them?
02:13The ones that aren't in the Big 12?
02:14Yes.
02:15Do you?
02:15Yes.
02:15I think they're all –
02:16Because they're all –
02:18Because here's the thing now.
02:20Rattling sabers.
02:21Here's – damn it.
02:23I think they're a bunch of blowhards.
02:26I don't believe any of those guys.
02:27No offense, but –
02:28But, no, here's the thing now.
02:30Texas Tech has always been a football school.
02:32Texas Tech is in a football business now.
02:34Yeah, but Texas Tech's never been, like, a great football school.
02:37No, but they've been a football school.
02:39For sure.
02:40But they're in the business because they got Cody now.
02:42Oh, yeah, right.
02:43And so they're in the business of football now.
02:45And when you're in the business of football and you got the muscle – and when I say muscle, I
02:49mean money.
02:50Yeah.
02:50To go behind that like they have.
02:52Yeah.
02:52So he is trying to – who's the big dogs right now?
02:58It's the SEC commissioner and it's the Big Ten.
03:00He wants to be one of them.
03:01Well, he is.
03:02That's what I'm saying.
03:03He is.
03:03He's bigger than the Big 12 commissioner.
03:06Oh, without question.
03:07Without question.
03:07And that's crazy.
03:08I mean, if you look at some of the provisions that were written into that bill that they put out
03:13last week, that's all him.
03:14Like that's all – like collectively bargaining, the media rights across the board in college football has been his big
03:21thing the whole time.
03:22There's all kinds of Cody Campbell stuff in that bill.
03:25Like he's lobbied his ass off to try to get this stuff approved, paid those lawyers to get his quarterback
03:31there, put up the $5 million to get the quarterback to transfer there.
03:34I mean, put up so much money over the last couple of years that they were in the college football
03:37playoff last year.
03:38Because that's the thing.
03:39Like Texas Tech has been a football school for sure.
03:41And there's been some – I mean, they've got like a – they've got a history and they've got like
03:45a – even like a culture.
03:47You know, it's like, oh, they're always pretty fun on offense.
03:49Every once in a while a quarterback's going to come through there and maybe get some Heisman votes because he
03:53puts up numbers.
03:54And there was the Mike Leach era.
03:55No one ever hated them.
03:56No.
03:57Like it was – they were always kind of fun.
03:58They were fun too.
03:58It was like, all right, Texas Tech's on.
04:00They scored 60 points.
04:00Just watch it.
04:01Yeah.
04:02Now everybody hates them.
04:03Hates them.
04:03And that happened overnight.
04:05Like I can't remember a team or a program or whatever this is going from what they kind of were.
04:11Which is like, oh, hell yeah, Texas Tech.
04:12Run and shoot.
04:13We love it.
04:15And now it's like, God, I hate those guys.
04:16We're not even going to play them.
04:18Yeah, but that's what I'm saying.
04:19We're not going to play them.
04:19I mean, it's like – it's a crazy thing because you're like, as weak as they are, the NCAA's got
04:28to go back to court.
04:30Yeah, they have to.
04:30You have to.
04:31You have to.
04:32You can't take that kind of ass whooping, Andy.
04:34Yeah.
04:34You can't.
04:35Like they got away with the number one thing.
04:40The rule that everyone knows you cannot do.
04:42One.
04:42The golden rule in sports.
04:44What is it?
04:44Not just college sports.
04:45Sports.
04:45Sports.
04:46You can't bet on your own team.
04:47You can't.
04:48And every other league in the world that plays sports agrees on this.
04:53If someone in the – and again, I understand that I'm glossing over some of the details here, but I
04:58think I have to to sort of drive home how ridiculous it is.
05:01If any player in any other sports league in America did this, they'd be banned.
05:06Yes.
05:06They wouldn't play.
05:07But that's what I'm saying.
05:08You – they got their pants pulled down after they got in the pool.
05:11Yeah.
05:12Yeah.
05:12That's what happened.
05:13And it was cold in that pool.
05:14It was cold in that pool.
05:15Yeah.
05:15That's what happened.
05:15And everybody's looking.
05:16Yep.
05:17And like pointing and laughing.
05:18Shrinkage.
05:19Yes.
05:19Because you just got demolished.
05:24Yeah.
05:24Yeah.
05:25And that's the crazy thing about it.
05:26So, I mean, even if you – even if a judge upholds this judge who is just his little –
05:33this should be a term.
05:36Anyways.
05:38He's going to have sideline passes all year.
05:40I'm talking about this dude.
05:41Now, apparently he's a Houston grad who's the team that Texas Tech plays in the first game that Soresby comes
05:46back, which I don't know why he would want – that's kind of a conflict.
05:49But anyway, yeah, he'll be in them.
05:51Yeah.
05:51He'll be in the suite on Saturdays.
05:53No doubt.
05:54If he wants to be.
05:55Here's the – here's one thing that is – has Abe brought up, has been starting over the last 24
06:00hours with this, or maybe it's more today, is now people are kind of more doing like the Soresby isn't
06:07that good anyway stuff.
06:08No.
06:08Like, why don't they paid him $5 million to go there.
06:11Here's what I'll say.
06:11No, he's a good player.
06:12Because you asked me this yesterday.
06:13Is this going to hurt his draft stock?
06:15Maybe, if he plays bad.
06:16If he plays good throw through this whole thing, then they're going to do that.
06:20Look how mentally tough he is.
06:21A guy that dealt with all of this scrutiny and the microscope of the sports world on him, and he
06:27was still able to persevere.
06:29Again, I don't give –
06:31Which, by the way, the argument why he couldn't play is because he's got mental health problems.
06:35Yeah, whatever.
06:36You like the damn gamble.
06:38Do I believe that their gamble addiction is – yes, I 100% believe that.
06:42But I don't think he has it.
06:43I don't think he has it.
06:44That's just my –
06:46I don't think he has it.
06:47Yeah, I don't think he has it.
06:47Do I think there are people out there with this thing?
06:49I damn sure do.
06:50Yeah.
06:50And that's why when they have these different things and they put the – you know, if you're having issues
06:54and all those different things, those 800 numbers, I truly 100% believe in it.
06:58I don't believe he got it.
06:59I don't either.
07:00And I don't even know the boy.
07:01I don't believe he got it.
07:03$90,000?
07:05$90,000 bets, Andy.
07:06Bet on – how many times he's bet on Indiana?
07:0940 at least.
07:10Mm-hmm.
07:10Yeah.
07:10Yeah.
07:11Including two negative results.
07:13Get the hell out of here.
07:14Yeah.
07:14No, I mean, it's all –
07:15Get the hell out of here.
07:15It's all nonsense.
07:16Apparently, you could do it now.
07:17You could do whatever you want in college football.
07:18Just go to court if you don't like the outcome.
07:21And that's it.
07:23I mean, again, I will say this, though, because, again, it seems to have galvanized everyone else in college football
07:31against this result.
07:32There's been 50 different things over the last couple of years where it's like, well, is this the tipping point?
07:37Maybe this is it because it actually does feel like everyone is so outraged.
07:41Because –
07:42You don't often see athletic directors from big-time schools putting their names on quotes like the one –
07:48Forbid –
07:48Josh, forbid team from scheduling future matchups with tickets.
07:53It's the one thing you don't do.
07:55You just don't do that.
07:57And that's the crazy thing about it.
07:58It's like, how can – and I don't – and again, I'm not going after the young man.
08:03It's whatever.
08:04He's a kid, does – kids, we do dumb stuff.
08:06Yeah.
08:07We do dumb stuff.
08:08But, but –
08:09He's the same age as Wemby.
08:10But you did this, and you knew that you are not allowed to – you can't tell me you weren't
08:15making them bets and like, I didn't know.
08:17Yeah, you did.
08:18No, but that's because he – of course he knew.
08:20Yes.
08:20That's why he was using his brother-in-law's account to do it because he knew he wasn't allowed to
08:24do it.
08:24Exactly.
08:24And again, I also am with you as far as extending grace and whatnot as far as making mistakes and
08:30blah, blah, blah.
08:31But like, this is an example of a learning opportunity where you made the mistake you can't make.
08:38And you did.
08:38And now you don't get to do the thing anymore.
08:40And you need to take this ass whooping.
08:41Yeah, and that's what happens in life.
08:43Like, yes, kids make mistakes sometimes.
08:44And if they're big enough mistakes, they get in real big trouble for it.
08:48Like, I understand he didn't break any laws, but he broke the golden rule in the sport that he plays
08:52in that you're not allowed to break.
08:53It's 1919, Andy.
08:55Yeah, man.
08:56All right.
08:57Pete Rose died not in the Hall of Fame.
08:59Yes.
08:59Like, since that scandal.
09:02Calvin Ridley's like, man.
09:03What was his name?
09:04I made like eight bets.
09:05What was his name?
09:05Arnold Rothstein?
09:06What?
09:06Arnold Rothstein that fixed that World Series?
09:09Yeah, the Black Sox.
09:09Yeah.
09:10Shoeless Joe Jackson and whatnot.
09:12Like –
09:12I know.
09:13Not anymore.
09:14Not in college football.
09:15It's just bad.
09:16It's just a bad damn look.
09:18It is.
09:18It's a horrible look.
09:19And the fact is that – I understand how Texas Tech can defend him.
09:25It's a damn starting quarterback.
09:26And by the way, no, he's a baller.
09:28Well, that's the thing.
09:29As if he plays great this year, NFL scouts are going to be like, man, he handled adversity great.
09:34The dude can ball.
09:35I'm not one to be like, he ain't even that good.
09:38No, the dude is good.
09:39I do wonder, though.
09:39Like, this is a lot.
09:40He's good.
09:41But this is a lot to deal with.
09:42He's a good damn player.
09:43He is, but I'm just saying, like, this is a lot of – I mean, I could see how this
09:49could screw someone's season up.
09:50You know what I mean?
09:51Like, you come back from something like this and everybody hates you?
09:55Yeah.
09:55He might suck now.
09:56No.
09:57Probably not.
09:57Only if you feel bad about it.
09:59You don't feel bad about it.
09:59That's true.
10:00Yeah.
10:01I don't feel bad.
10:02He probably in the locker room.
10:03I told you I'd get the –
10:05This is great.
10:06I don't even have to play the first two games.
10:07Yeah, I told y'all, man.
10:08And I still get the $5 million.
10:09Hey, man, I told y'all.
