Within the wake of the surprising news that Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby<\/strong> can be withdrawing from his battle with the NCAA to enter the NFL\u2019s supplemental draft, Sorsby\u2019s agent, Ron Slavin, set free a few of the details that led to the shocking consequence. After Sorsby\u2019s crack legal team had put him ready to stay eligible to play at the very least 10 games with the Red Raiders next 12 months, Slavin\u2019s comments suggest that the college pushed Sorsby to go to the NFL.<\/p>\n <\/a>In an appearance<\/a> on 105.3 The Fan, a sports radio show in Dallas, Slavin disclosed a few of the details of how things went down. Ultimately, Slavin claims the choice to maneuver on was the results of \u201can excessive amount of pressure from everybody else on Tech,\u201d though Sorsby still desired a run with the team.<\/p>\n \u201cThis wasn\u2019t Brendan Sorsby not wanting to play college football,\u201d<\/em> Slavin explained.\u00a0\u201cThis was Brendan Sorsby just being advised by the college that, \u2018I believe it\u2019s time for you\u2019 \u2014 , we had seven days left to file for the supplemental draft and didn\u2019t know where this thing was gonna go. So, we won in court. We did our job on our side, but, for whatever reason, the world melted down like college football was ruined perpetually.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Slavin hedged his language a bit, putting equal intention between Texas Tech and Sorsby, but the general tone of the interview appeared to indicate that the university had gotten cold feet. Despite the legal victories Sorsby\u2019s team had achieved, Texas Tech began to feel negative pressure from the media and their very own Big 12 conference. The varsity feared that the conference may opt to make an example of Sorsby and bar your complete team from participating within the conference championship or a possible playoff run. The Big 12 had filed suit against the Lubbock school, and the NCAA had requested an appeal of the judge\u2019s injunction.<\/p>\n With Sorsby now headed for the NFL, though, Slavin believes Sorsby ought to be spared the punishment of a suspension. While some may point to Terrelle Pryor<\/strong>\u2018s situation in 2011, when the NFL enforced a five-game suspension previously levied by the NCAA before Pryor declared for the supplemental draft, Slavin is pointing to a newer example.<\/p>\n Slavin doesn\u2019t expect his client to receive a suspension once arriving within the NFL since the NFL didn’t suspend Patriots wide receiver Kayshon Boutte<\/strong> when it was uncovered that he utilized an alias to position about 8,900 wagers \u2014 17 of which were believed to be on college football games, six of them LSU games \u2014 when he was 20 years old at LSU. The news got here out after Boutte had already played a season within the NFL, however the league still investigated that matter even after the fees applied to Boutte had been dropped.<\/p>\n Sorsby\u2019s situation seems to have similarities to each. Like Pryor, Sorsby was facing a two-game suspension when he declared for the supplemental draft, but Boutte\u2019s mistakes so clearly match Sorsby\u2019s. It would be interesting to see which precedent\u2019s the league will claim to follow when coping with the incoming rookie prospect. In accordance with Jason La Canfora of SportsBoom, sources seem to point that Sorsby will draw plenty of interest<\/a> within the supplemental draft. It\u2019s believed some teams may attempt to grab him within the second round, but he definitely isn\u2019t expected to last past the third round.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Within the wake of the surprising news that Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby can be withdrawing from his battle with the NCAA to enter the NFL\u2019s supplemental draft, Sorsby\u2019s agent, Ron Slavin, set free a few of the details that led to the shocking consequence.
