Chapter 1: What is the Brendan Sorsby case about?
One down, 103 to go? That's what it is. Did I have that right? Is it 104 games? One down, 103 to go? I did that on my own. You read it somewhere. I figured it out. Did you? Figured it out. You got the grid in front of you? 48 teams play three games each in pool play, which is 104. Or no, it was 148-96. 144, then you've got to divide that by two because it's only one game.
So you get down to 72, and then you have a 32-team knockout stage, and it's always one less game in a knockout than you have teams. So 31.
Is that right? You actually did the math.
Right, so 103 total, is that right? Yeah, I think it is 103.
103 and one down, 102 to go. Okay, so you did the math on it. Blair, you just looked it up.
I'm saying I can figure it out.
He wins. I could have looked it up. Could he have figured it out? I don't know. I do what you did a lot more than I do the other.
The NCAA tournament bracket, I always just take the number of teams, and it's one less than the number of games.

Chapter 2: How does gambling addiction impact athletes like Sorsby?
So when you get to the knockout, that's the easy part. 36 teams in the knockout, we're going to have 31 games. That's right.
Since 82.
It's the pool play, which is 48 teams, three games each, but they're all playing each other, so you divide it by two. So you could just do, I guess, a faster way would have been to do 24 times 3, and I would have gotten a 72 as well. Yes, you would have. Divide the 48 in half first. Because you know whether you divide it first or second, it doesn't matter. Okay. That's how it works with division.
Multiplication. Simple division. Yeah, here ended the, you know, like we had an idiot friend in college. I called him the dumbest man to ever get into Syracuse. He ruined, we called him the smartest idiot. Yeah, I do think he's the dumbest guy to get into Syracuse for sure. But we also called him the world's smartest moron.
He's done very well financially for himself, even with a god-awful marriage that went down in flames that when I got there and met the gal for the first time, I'm like, No. I even told him the night before, I go, well, when you get divorced, we'll go do this or that. Wedding started like two hours late. I mean, can't find Grandma. They started without her.
They played Ave Maria again in the middle of it because Grandma likes Ave Maria. And so we doubled back to Ave Maria. And I sat next to the world's dumbest genius. At this wedding, and the world's dumbest genius roomed with the world's smartest moron. The world's smartest moron is, like I said, done very well financially, all through sketch, sometimes illegal dealings.
And the world's dumbest genius has done quite well as well.

Chapter 3: What are the implications of the NCAA's rules on college sports?
He is a highfalutin attorney in Washington, D.C., graduated from Georgetown Law. After getting kicked off our freshman year floor for not wearing pants. Any pants. Complete Winnie the Pooh. Thought that would be a good idea.
He had a shirt, but no pants.
I wonder if that's part of his profile. It's on my profile. I don't think it's a part that he would like out there. Like I said, being a highfalutin D.C. lawyer these days. But these two, and I told them when we went down. So he transferred out of Syracuse and went to Georgetown because he wanted to play football. And Georgetown was about the level of football he could play. Yeah, one AAA stuff.
And he graduated second in his class from Georgetown Law. You shouldn't be smart enough to be second in your class at Georgetown Law and get kicked off your freshman year floor. Probably not. But that's this guy. And I announced to them that they would probably achieve at the same level. When it was all said and done. And I have never nailed anything. You nailed it. Like I nailed it.
One guy's the street smart, just scourge of society, and he's doing just fine. And the other guy probably would be president now, but he's... Probably walked into some big party with no pants on. And that's knocked him down to just being a big deal lawyer. Well, I don't know if that has stopped any current politician from holding office. Well, not now.

Chapter 4: How do college football programs handle player suspensions?
And now what they're going to do is... They want you to actually do that. They're going to prosecute football conferences. I mean, it starts slow when you just completely punt your moral compass. It starts out, what happens is, because people are still unsure of like, well, this is kind of dirty and icky.
You know, it's like I say about, you know, you don't cheat on your spouse because no one ever cheated once. Once you've done it once, that's the hard one. After that, it picks up speed. At least the people I know who operate that way. Man, ain't no big thing on down the road. Once you push past the moral compass, it picks up speed. Cross the threshold.
You know, you do some things like, you know, you sue to get your football rights instead of working with the NCAA. And then, you know, you do a thing for just the conference. But we're all in it together. And, no, we're really okay. You know, forget about, you know, screw those little schools and any money going to them. It doesn't really matter.
I mean, yeah, we should think about education as a whole and all the student athletes and not just ours. But, you know, we're not going to, but we feel okay because the conference is with us. And it just builds and builds and builds. And you appeal. sanctions that are completely fair.
And then you walk to a podium and talk about the NCAA as a big villain because they gave you sanctions because the rules that you agreed to play by, you didn't play by. But you go out and you announce the NCAA is the problem. And it just builds and builds and builds. And now we're at a point where he gambled on the sport. Yeah. There's a million ways. His team. His team.

Chapter 5: What challenges do college athletes face with mental health?
A million ways that you just go, no, no, no. He's out. But now you fought it. You let his lawyers fight it. You didn't just kick him off the team yourself. No, no, no. Which would have solved it all. Yep. And then you're like, well, I mean, they said it's okay, so we're going to play ball.
And then the league starts to, and now we've got the state of Texas is talking about filing criminal charges against the Big 12. Yeah, if the Big 12 takes action against Texas Tech. So let's just play this out. You're a McDonald's franchisee. And the deal is you sell McDonald's food. And you don't sell anything else. Or you lose your franchise. That's how it is. There are rules.
You get to ride on our big national advertising budget. We have a massive supply chain. We have a menu for you. We have it all. This is it. This is what you're paying for. This is what you get. But you know what? I like tacos. So I'm going to serve some tacos at McDonald's. Well, McDonald's would tell you no, and they'd tell you to stop, and then they'd take your franchise.
And now that guy can go, no, no, no, no.
Chapter 6: How does the legal system interact with college sports regulations?
I'll do whatever the blank I want. These are the roads we're going down. I have an addiction to tacos. I've got a mental health issue here. I'm cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs. I need tacos. Who were you to tell me I can't sell tacos in my store?
I got a fever, and the only cure is cowbell and tacos.
Last time I checked, this was America. And then I was watching some of the comments that were going back around. I was like, well, he did better on his team. Oh, so if you bet on your team, which we've talked about a million times. The whole Pete Rose thing, which no one obviously paid attention to. I was like, well, what's the big deal? He bet on his team.
It wasn't like he was betting against him. Yeah, but when he didn't bet against him, number one, that's an obvious telltale sign. But then there's also the when he did bet on him. And I've talked to guys who were on Red's teams playing for Pete Rose. You may have pitched two nights in a row. But if Pete needs you tonight, when Pete got down on you, you're going a third night in a row.
When Pete really needed you. Yeah. And if we could bring a starter back on this night, but Pete didn't really like the matchup, but the next night he does, then we'll wait. So are you really putting your best foot forward for the Cincinnati Reds? The obvious answer is absolutely not. And that's just the things that aren't even that harmful.
Now, listen, if we want to go like, look, sports, it's just wrestling. Bet on wrestling, jackasses. Go ahead.

Chapter 7: What are the future prospects for Brendan Sorsby and Texas Tech?
I mean, if you want, but that's what you're going to turn football into.
And there was the one big 12 coach that said, well, I guess since what I'm supposed to do is what's best for my players is I need to get some people in here from Vegas and have them help us out on when we can bet on ourselves and when we can't and when we should shave points so that they can benefit financially the most from making money on betting on our team since it's obviously not against the rules anymore.
Right. I love that thought. It's fantastic. Yeah, yeah. And Gene Taylor became probably the strongest comments about this. Was it the BSMF-er? Yeah, that's the one.
I think it was the FNBS. Oh, was it FNBS? Okay, yeah. Which is not a bank.
Or a law firm. No. So... Here we are, yeah, in the most egregious of moments, I think, for college. By the way, and you're sitting here. I just want to be clear, because I guess Baylor, TCU, Tech, is there three in Texas? Houston. For the Big 12? Yeah, four in Houston. Yeah, you got them, yeah. Okay, so for those four, they're like, oh, okay. Got my back.
All right, but the 12 other ones... The 12 other ones... That are sitting there going, well, okay, wait a minute, Texas is going to jump in. If we rule something here, they are sitting here going, all right, so Texas is stepping in and going to file charges against us. State of Texas. The state of Texas.

Chapter 8: How does this case reflect broader issues in college athletics?
The Attorney General's office, yeah. So doesn't Iowa and Kansas and Colorado and Arizona and Utah. West Virginia and Florida. West Virginia and Florida. Don't they announce something to the effect of like, this is where I think the next step is. OK, bring your quarterback who violated the rules.
We'll make it a law that if you violate the rules because there are state institutions involved that you've now committed a crime in our state. If he lines up on her center and takes one snap, we will arrest him. We will walk out and arrest him and we'll arrest the coach who put him on the field. I mean, isn't that where we're at next? Why not? Why not?
I mean, if Texas is going to look out for Texas, then Kansas needs to look out for Kansas. Yeah. And so when you bring this quarterback who has no business playing onto the field in Lawrence, I mean, great, enjoy your home games if we bother to show up. But if you step onto the field in Kansas...
We'll have armed, maybe even masked agents that will storm the field, weapons drawn, and we'll take you to prison. And that's what college sports should be about. That's what it's all about. I mean, it sounds preposterous, but...
Listen, two years ago, it would blow your mind to think that the state of Texas would say, if you hand down discipline, which it's in our bylaws and charter that you can do, if you do that in this case... we're going to file criminal charges against you is insane. So we're building momentum. So how do you get more insane to get back at Texas? Well, why not arrest some people?
And the AG, Ken Paxton, is running for Senate in Texas against a Democrat. So is he trying to curry favor with voters in Texas so he can win his Senate seat?
I wonder if he's a tech grad, do we know? Because this is all happening because of tech...
grad judge yes yeah in that county um allowed this to happen which it got me wondering is the courthouse just like part of the of the arena at texas is it just the next building uh baylor and university of virginia so i'm not a tech guy okay all right but uh but state of texas you can see where it might help baylor absolutely and he's in a tough he's in a tough race
For the Senate spot, he needs everybody he can get.
