You want to know what really gets me about this Finebaum gambling story and the Brendan Sorsby situation at Texas Tech? It is the same disease that is killing everything I loved about this sport. We have turned college football into a Las Vegas strip and we are shocked when a kid gets addicted to gambling. I remmber when the only thing you gambled on was whether the snow would hold off for the 1993 Big Ten title game against Michigan State. Now we have apps on every phone, billboards on every highway, and the NCAA is sitting there with their hands tied pretending they did not help build this monster. The transfer portal and NIL already made it impossible to keep a roster together. Now you add legalized sports betting on every single snap and you are telling me we are surprised that a kid like Sorsby, who transferred from Cincinnati to Texas Tech chasing a bigger stage, ends up in a gambling scandal? This is what happens when you take a game that was built on loyalty and tradition and turn it into a transaction. Barry Alvarez would have thrown a fit if he saw what we are dealing with now. The Rose Bowl meant something because you earned it. Now everything is a bet. The conference, the players, the fans. And I am supposed to get excited about Notre Dame coming to Camp Randall this fall? Hard to care when the whole thing feels like it is one bad line away from falling apart.
