You want to know what gets me about the Brendan Sorsby mess at Texas Tech? It isnt the lawsuit or the commissioner having to step in. What gets me is that nobody even remembers what a walk on looks like anymore. That kid probably never would have been a walk on anywhere in 1994, but now he is the center of a federal lawsuit because of NIL and eligibility fights. We used to build teams from the ground up with kids who grew up wanting to wear the jersey. I remmeber watching Gary Patterson take a kid who was a high school backup and turn him into an all conference defensive end over three years of summer workouts and scout team beatings. That doesnt happen anymore because the portal lets you shop for a finished product. The walk on culture at TCU was special. We had guys who would run through a wall for a scholarship that never came. They did it because they loved the school and the game. Now you have kids transferring three times before they turn 21 and lawyers getting involved over who gets to play where. The Big 12 commissioner should not have to be a judge in a custody battle over a quarterback. This whole thing makes me sick. I miss the days when a kid earned his spot by showing up at 6 AM for voluntary workouts in July, not by having his attorney file a motion.
