Paul Finebaum: NCAA brought Brendan Sorsby trouble onto themselves
ESPN's Paul Finebaum thinks the NCAA's betting rules put them in a precarious position when it comes to cases like Brendan Sorsby's.
Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby has taken a leave of absence to enter a gambling addiction treatment program, but the attention surrounding the Red Raiders passer continues to march down the field. ESPN college football analyst Paul Finebaum had some strong words for the NCAA on Tuesday, intimating that Sorsby's situation could be the direct result of a previous decision they made. "The NCAA has been asking for this," Finebaum said on Get Up.
"About a year ago the NCAA agreed on legislation that allowed college athletes to bet on professional sports. A number of people, including SEC commissioner Greg Sankey, intervened. They went to the president Charlie Baker, saying we have to rescind this.
They did, but they opened the door for all of this... " . @finebaum offers his perspective on the situation ā¬ļø "I believe this is the tip of an iceberg.
