Big Cat introduces the Brennan Sorsby situation — the Texas Tech QB who was briefly reinstated by a local judge after a gambling suspension — and Klatt does not hold back. He calls it a total disaster, noting it violated one of sports' longest-standing rules (going back to Shoeless Joe and Pete Rose) and that local judges giving favorable rulings to local teams destroys any semblance of rule enforcement.

Sorsby's reinstatement by a local Texas judge was a disaster for college football's rule structure. But Klatt sees a silver lining: the chaos may have finally given Congress the push to pass federal antitrust legislation, giving enforcement bodies actual teeth for the first time.
