Rare Player Appeal in College Sports
00:00:22
Pat Q
You know, TJ, I'd like to make an injunction here and just carry our attention to a different issue. If you will allow it, if the courts allow it
00:01:03
Pat Q
pronounce it yeah
00:01:14
Pat Q
yeah I feel like we're in like a weird limbo area where this is like the first time that We've seen a player's appeal actually get kind of like heard or upheld um in this specific scenario, right?
NCAA and Eligibility Issues with Alabama Player
00:01:34
Pat Q
Like in college basketball this year, obviously we had the whole situation with Alabama where they had a guy who technically was on a G League roster and played
00:01:45
Pat Q
handful of games come back tried to get him to play an injunction was issued there that allowed him to temporarily play but ultimately the ncaa won out his eligibility was stripped um I don't know.
00:02:00
Pat Q
If I was a Texas Tech fan, I would not be celebrating this in totality yet. Right. Like you mentioned, of course, the court date isn't until February 8th.
00:02:09
Pat Q
um But I just don't see the NCAA sitting idly by and letting this stand. Right. Because if they do, then what is stopping other schools from going out there and saying, all right, well, we have all these rules, but clearly the rules are don't matter because I can just issue an injunction with a court from a judge that's an alumnus and I'm good to go.
00:02:34
Pat Q
um so I feel like the NCAA is going to try and handle this pretty swiftly. What are your thoughts?
00:02:55
Pat Q
Yeah. Yeah.
00:03:30
Pat Q
Mm-hmm.
00:04:05
Pat Q
Yeah.
NCAA's Tumultuous State: NIL and Eligibility Challenges
00:04:06
Pat Q
True. True.
00:04:36
Pat Q
Yeah. um And I mean, I know it's not really like the same scenario because obviously he did nothing wrong in this case, ah but it kind of feels like we've gotten two major quarterbacks now and Brendan Sorsby and Trinidad Chambliss who have pushed back on the NCAA denying their eligibility and won.
00:04:57
Pat Q
Right. So um i don't know. Like, it I think it's really at that point where the NCAA needs to do something or like total chaos is going to institute.
00:05:11
Pat Q
I mean, we're already in a pretty chaotic time with NIL the way it is right now.
00:05:16
Pat Q
um But I mean, like what is to stop these guys from just issuing an injunction every time the NCAA just rules them ineligible?
00:05:27
Pat Q
um And have we opened Pandora's box with this, right? Like, is this going to be a recurring thing in the future now? um I don't know.
00:05:39
Pat Q
weird because you and I talked about this before the
Controversy Around Texas Tech
00:05:42
Pat Q
podcast started. Like Texas Tech went from such a good story and like a feel good experience for pretty much everybody except Big 12 fans um to pretty quickly being like a huge villain in the landscape of college football now and really college athletics as a whole.
00:06:00
Pat Q
So I mean, I'm sure like, it's not like that's a history rich program. I'm sure they'll take it if it gets them a national championship, right? Brennan Soresby can lead them to the promised
NCAA and Potential Consequences of Unresolved Eligibility
00:06:14
Pat Q
land.
00:06:14
Pat Q
But if he does that and then February 8th comes, what's stopping the NCAA from vacating that national championship and saying that all of their wins don't count because Soresby played, right? Like, I feel like we're in this really, really weird spot.
00:07:01
Pat Q
Yeah.
00:07:41
Pat Q
Yeah.
Expert Insights on NCAA Issues
00:07:46
Pat Q
And I will, I will give a shout out if you guys are interested in sports law whatsoever, split zone duo, really good college football podcast um had an episode right.
00:08:00
Pat Q
Like almost immediately after this news broke, where they had a sports law professor from Boise State on to kind of like talk through the NCAA stance on things, Sorsby's stance on things. So like if sports law is something that interests you, definitely go check out that episode from SCD.
00:08:41
Pat Q
Yeah. Yeah.
00:08:58
Pat Q
um
00:09:09
Pat Q
yeah
00:09:23
Pat Q
Yeah.
Brennan Sorsby's Betting Scandal
00:09:31
Pat Q
Yeah. And I mean, like, even from the moral implications of it, you know, like at some point, what does that reflect about the values of the sport? You know, because we all know what happened to Pete Rose when he bet on baseball. Yeah.
00:09:47
Pat Q
one of the greatest contact hitters in history. And he's not in the hall of fame because of that. Right. And he did the same thing.
00:09:53
Pat Q
Brennan Sorsby did. He bet on his own team. um And it's not like this was five or $10 bets that Sorsby was playing, placing like this was $90,000 in total worth of bets. So it's, it's not chump change that we're playing with here. You know, it's not like the John Mateer fake Venmo's that were uncovered last year. Yeah.
00:11:25
Pat Q
I will take it.
00:11:25
Pat Q
I will take it.
00:11:44
Pat Q
for sure.
00:11:57
Pat Q
Yeah.
00:12:06
Pat Q
Yeah, I think it'll be really fun. Um,
00:12:11
Pat Q
Don't want to get too much into it yet. I know we'll do like individual previews, but I definitely think that will be a really fun game to keep an eye on.
00:12:39
Pat Q
Yeah.
00:12:40
Pat Q
Yes.
00:13:12
Pat Q
Yeah.
00:13:17
Pat Q
Really good Auburn team too.
00:13:32
Pat Q
State. Yeah.
00:13:53
Pat Q
They did.
00:14:13
Pat Q
It is. it is.
00:14:18
Pat Q
weird not to have a California team or like one of the Oregon teams in there.
00:14:22
Pat Q
Um...
00:14:48
Pat Q
Super fun.
00:14:55
Pat Q
Yeah, definitely.
00:15:02
Pat Q
Yeah.
Troy's Baseball Team Bracket Analysis
00:15:25
Pat Q
Yeah. and this too
00:15:42
Pat Q
yeah
00:16:10
Pat Q
I don't know. It's tough because like I feel like we don't have um maybe like a super obvious like top team, and we don't have like a super obvious bottom team. you know like Troy probably is perceived as the weakest team on either side.
00:16:27
Pat Q
um But like you mentioned, that ah offense is really humming right now.
00:16:33
Pat Q
ah So I don't know. I feel like this is probably like based on,
00:16:45
Pat Q
guess, matchups. um Unfortunately, I do think Troy is probably two-gamer.
00:16:57
Pat Q
um I don't see them getting past West Virginia. and think West Virginia is playing really good baseball right now. And unfortunately, i do think whoever wins that or sorry, loses that Ole Miss North Carolina game is probably going to beat them as well.
00:17:15
Pat Q
um
00:17:16
Pat Q
So I see Troy bowing out in their side of the bracket. And then on the other side,
00:17:28
Pat Q
I want to say Oklahoma because like records indicate, I don't know, records indicate they're like the weakest team, but they're hot.
00:17:35
Pat Q
You know what I mean? They're they're playing with a lot of swagger right now.
00:17:39
Pat Q
um
00:17:42
Pat Q
So I will say Texas instead will only play two games in Omaha.
00:17:50
Pat Q
What about you?
00:17:50
Pat Q
What are your thoughts here, TJ?
00:18:02
Pat Q
Yeah.
00:18:15
Pat Q
There.
00:18:19
Pat Q
yeah
00:18:36
Pat Q
ah Yeah, yeah.
00:18:39
Pat Q
Ooh, okay.
00:18:40
Pat Q
Okay.
00:18:47
Pat Q
Okay.
00:18:56
Pat Q
You had a really easy pin.
00:18:59
Pat Q
Yeah. Yeah.
00:19:34
Pat Q
Pretty good.
00:19:47
Pat Q
Okay.
00:19:48
Pat Q
Okay.
00:19:54
Pat Q
Yeah.
00:19:59
Pat Q
Okay.
00:20:02
Pat Q
Okay.
00:20:08
Pat Q
Yep.
Ole Miss's Championship Prospects
00:20:09
Pat Q
Yeah.
00:20:24
Pat Q
yeah
00:20:39
Pat Q
I think Ole Miss actually is my dark horse or sleep routine.
00:20:44
Pat Q
um I've been riding Ole Miss all postseason here. um i don't know. like This... It's starting to kind of feel like the year...
00:20:54
Pat Q
I don't think they're going to win the national championship. I will just say that. But this is kind of feeling like that year where they won the College World Series, where they kind of started picking up momentum, playing really confident baseball, headed into Supers.
00:21:09
Pat Q
um
00:21:11
Pat Q
I think a lot of people probably expected Auburn to be here instead of Ole Miss. um So I could see them kind of...
00:21:21
Pat Q
pulling, let's say in Oklahoma in this scenario, right? And like using that type of huge victory on the road to propel them here in Omaha. And i don't know, I just don't fully trust North Carolina.
00:21:36
Pat Q
in that first game, like there's sketchy vibes there, you know, like as you mentioned, USC had them on the ropes and they kind of just let them off the ropes.
00:21:46
Pat Q
Um, so I think Ole Miss wins that game. And then West Virginia has been a fantastic story this year. Um, but I just think Ole Miss is ultimately a little bit too much. Um, I don't think it's like a clean progression on three where, um,
00:22:06
Pat Q
You know, they're just knocking everybody down with no scuffs on them. But I do see them making the national championship.
00:22:17
Pat Q
Yeah.
00:22:29
Pat Q
Mm-hmm.
00:22:45
Pat Q
Yeah. Yeah.
00:23:18
Pat Q
Okay.
00:23:38
Pat Q
Okay.
00:23:46
Pat Q
Mm-hmm.
00:24:08
Pat Q
Okay.
00:24:15
Pat Q
yeah
00:24:19
Pat Q
Oh, wow.
Georgia Baseball Team's Championship Potential
00:24:32
Pat Q
Yeah. Um, I agree with your pick there. Uh, they say every dog has its day, I believe. and I believe this year is George's year. Um,
00:24:44
Pat Q
I think anybody who's watched college baseball this year has been high on this Georgia team just because of that offense and that pitching staff. um I don't know.
00:24:55
Pat Q
They just feel like, you know, that LSU team that beat coastal had that kind of inevitable vibe about them. um This is sort of a similar energy that I'm getting from this year's Georgia team where, yeah, like,
00:25:13
Pat Q
I think it'll be an entertaining and interesting final like the LSU coastal final was. um But at the end of the day, i think the dogs end up on top.
00:25:31
Pat Q
Yeah.
00:26:01
Pat Q
Ole Miss. Ole Miss.
00:26:04
Pat Q
and
00:26:07
Pat Q
I have them two out of three. um Yeah, I do think Ole Miss probably will take one off of the dogs.
00:26:13
Pat Q
um But I think Georgia wins one in three.
00:26:26
Pat Q
don't know. Yeah. Yeah. Let's see. ah's see
00:27:10
Pat Q
they do they do they play in Oxford November 7th
00:27:20
Pat Q
yeah yeah yeah
00:27:29
Pat Q
for sure
00:27:54
Pat Q
ah Friday. Friday's game one.
World Cup Predictions: Is France the Favorite?
00:28:06
Pat Q
One last thing I want to get in there, TJ. It is the night before the World Cup starts. Who is your pick to win the World Cup?
00:28:15
Pat Q
but
00:28:33
Pat Q
Yeah.
00:28:38
Pat Q
Ooh, okay.
00:28:58
Pat Q
Yeah.
00:29:05
Pat Q
Yeah, yeah, no, I hear you there. um As much as I'd love to say that the United States will win things on home turf, I feel like that would be pretty delusional of me to put that in into the the world. um
00:29:24
Pat Q
You never know. You never know. i will take France as my pick to win the World Cup, I think.
00:29:32
Pat Q
Yeah. I think dictator Mbappe will have the boys buzzing and um they'll be able to take it home.
00:29:41
Pat Q
little redemption for what happened in Qatar.
00:30:12
Pat Q
first one.
