Sorsby and consequences
Sorsby admitted to a literally thousands of illegal bets by betting when under age. He has admitted to placing third party bets when under age. He specifically placed third party bets on his own team. (He likely did the same at UC but did not admit to it). These are all felonies. Seems like should be pretty easy to get the search warrants and the evidence to convict someone who confessed on live TV.
How has he not been prosecuted?
How have the people who placed those third party bets not been prosecuted?
When one of those third party bettors flips on him to get a lighter sentence and it comes out that he bet prop bets or to win on his own performance that impacted the game, (Just imagine you bet your over on rushing yards and you are short, you will tuck and run to cover your bet rather than throwing to the open receiver) what will the prosecutors do? the NFL? the sports books that had to pay out on something that he manipulated?
He has had zero consequence for years of this. Some idiotic GM will likely waste a 5th round supplemental pick on this dude. He will fail as a prospect (he wasn't that good. Don't believe the hype, just look at game film when Cincinnati played a quality opponent with guys who will play on Sundays). But will sports books take the preseason games of that team off the board? Will the NFL get a smaller cut?
Like so many athletes before him, he has a long history of criminal behavior covered up by coaches, boosters, ADs, police, judges, and other political figures. There was a reason that his lawyer filed in a Texas state court even though the NCAA is clearly interstate commerce. The 4 pages of nothingness that said -- let him pay was virtually guarenteed by the venue and the judge without a shred of evidence.
Who will be held accountable? Anyone? Likely the only person to be held accountable will be whatever GM wastes a pick on him in the supplemental draft when he bets again on football.
