Texas Tech Can’t Explain Away The Brendan Sorsby Mess | Tim May Show

The Brendan Sorsby situation isn’t fading quietly — no matter how many Texas Tech officials step in front of a camera to explain it. On this Friday episode of The Tim May Show, Dillon Davis subs in for Clay Hall and joins Tim to break down the messy, complicated and still-growing controversy surrounding Texas Tech’s multimillionaire transfer quarterback.

But the bigger questions aren’t going away. Did Texas Tech make the right call? Is the NCAA equipped to handle gambling addiction in the modern era? What does this mean for college football, player accountability and the integrity of the game? Tim May and Dillon Davis sort through the cards on the table — and why this story still has plenty of hands left to play.
