Sports gambling is just like any other vice. Prohibition of the vice itself
Baltimore_Hokie • 06/09/26 02:43 PM ET
Notice I didn't say anything about outlawing sports gambling.

It is looking like conference peer pressure will back TT into a corner

I agree with you. It's a lose-lose for TT.

The tricky part is that the gambling didn’t happen at TT
HokieAl • 06/09/26 01:42 PM ET
Sorsby isn't entitled to play QB for a D1 FBS football team.

Of course he will. He has shown not a grain of loyalty to schools, team

They are both guilty of the same crime which is a violation of the bylaws.
