Summary
Kirk Herbstreit believes the Brendan Sorsby ruling, which allowed the college athlete to participate in sports despite being ruled ineligible by the NCAA for gambling, shows that college athletes can essentially “do whatever” they want. Herbstreit thinks the NCAA is toothless and that the sport is “spiraling out of control” without a true governing body. He expressed concern about the impact of gambling on athletes and the lack of regulation in college sports.

The habit gets a new name.
College athletes can do whatever they want, thanks to local judges. The NCAA is toothless, and the sport is spiraling out of control. Kirk Herbstreit finds it “sickening” that athletes can just go to a local judge to get the answer they want.

It’s a new reality for the sport, where coaches are leaving for the NFL and athletes are doing whatever they want.
