Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby was granted an injunction on Monday which allows him to play college football this season. This decision was made after Sorsby was found to betting on college football games throughout his career, which includes betting on (or in some cases against) his own team.
This ruling was met with a lot of angst from fans and programs across the country because Sorsby broke the one rule that has been in place since the beginning of college athletics. Even Georgia athletic director Josh Brooks was feeling disgusted by this ruling, so he took to social media to let his true feelings be known.
True integrity means holding your program accountable when things go wrong, not buying custom legislation or running to a local courtroom to bypass the rules.

Georgia decided to forbid their sports teams from playing Texas Tech
Georgia was one of two schools to make a drastic decision after the Sorsby ruling. They, along with Nebraska, decided to forbid all of their sports teams from playing Texas Tech in any sport.
Their sports programs have been informed to not schedule Texas Tech under any circumstance, and if they already have them scheduled, or are in talks to schedule them, it needs to end immediately.
Georgia and Nebraska may have started a trend that other programs are going to follow. After they announced this move other SEC programs began showing interest in following their lead. The Big Ten conference as a whole is even debating forbidding all of their teams from playing Texas Tech.
It's important to mention that they are not angry with Sorsby. Like many kids his age, he made a mistake that has more to do with his mental health than anything else, so everyone should hope that he gets the help that he needs. But just because he needs help doesn't mean he should be allowed to play college football again.
That is the exact point Brooks is making. He is furious that a court full of Texas Tech alums are putting their morals aside to let Sorsby play. Brooks is upset that Texas Tech is standing on the sideline allowing this to happen.
If a player can gamble on college sports and continue playing, then there may be no hope to save college athletics, and no one should want that.
What does Georgia's stance against Texas Tech mean for UGA?
What does this decision mean for the future of Georgia athletics? In all honesty it doesn't really mean anything because most of the country agrees with them. In fact, the rest of the country might really respect Georgia for leading the charge against Texas Tech.
Texas Tech however could be in serious trouble. There is nothing that Big 12 teams can do because their conference can force them to play Texas Tech still, but what happens if every other school in the country refuses to play them? What if they can't make a complete schedule in every sport?
It might be easy for their football team to find schools to play since they don't play many non-conference games, but pretty much every other sport plays a lot of non-Big 12 teams. What if they can't find enough teams to play?
Texas Tech's reputation might be damaged to the point of no return. The only way they can save their reputation is by kicking Sorsby off their team, but it's clear that won't be happening.
It will be interesting to see how things unfold over the next few days, but whatever happens it will in part be because Georgia and Brooks set the standard that other teams might be willing to follow.
