Brendan Sorsby will be playing college football this season. After being found to have placed countless bets on college football during his career, the Texas Tech quarterback received an injunction from a court that will allow him to play this fall even though the NCAA ruled him ineligible.
A lot of the country was against this decision, but there weren't many who were as upset as Georgia. As a result of this decision Georgia announced that all of their athletic programs will not be allowed to play Texas Tech.
So what was Texas Tech's response to this? Cody Campbell, who is the Chairman of their Board of Regents at Texas Tech, responded by calling out Georgia football for the amount of players they have had arrested.
@grok, how many @GeorgiaFootball players have been arrested in the last year?https://t.co/WFPehoVhgN

Georgia’s arrest history has no relation to Brendan Sorsby ruling
No one can deny how disappointing Georgia's arrest history over the last few years has been, but there are a few distinct differences between that and what Texas Tech is doing with Sorsby.
For starters, the arrests Georgia players have faced have nothing to do with football. Sorsby on the other hand broke the one rule that can't be broken as he jeopardized the integrity of every game he's ever been involved in.
Not only do Georgia's arrests not impact football in any way, but Kirby Smart has taken appropriate actions based on the facts of each incident. Many of Georgia's arrests were a result of speeding, and that hardly is a good enough reason to suspend or kick a player off their team. But when cases became more serious he was not afraid to suspend his players.
Smart and Georgia made sure to let the facts come out after each arrest. And after they did they acted accordingly which included taking drastic measures when needed. So why is Texas Tech just standing on the sideline letting Sorsby play when deep down everyone knows he shouldn't be allowed to step foot on a college football field again?
Sorsby clearly needs help and everyone should want him to get the help he needs, but just because he needs help right now doesn't mean he should be allowed to play football.
Texas Tech could end up on the wrong side of history if they aren’t careful
Texas Tech and Campbell may think they are doing the right thing, but there is a good chance they will end up on the wrong side of history.
Not only did Georgia forbid all of their sports teams from playing Texas Tech as a result of this ruling, but Nebraska followed their lead and made the same announcement as well. Other SEC programs have shown some interest in making the same decision as well, and the Big Ten conference is even debating telling all of their member schools to not schedule Texas Tech.
Other Big 12 schools won't be able to avoid playing Texas Tech, but even they are speaking out against their fellow conference member.
This story is far from over, and at this point Georgia won't have anymore say in what happens. But whatever happens from here on out will somewhat involve them because of their decision to not schedule Texas Tech and because of athletic director Josh Brooks' public comments that showed how outraged he is by all of this.
