Rob Parker and Kelvin Washington react to the growing controversy surrounding college football player Brenden Sorsby, who was reportedly involved in nearly $90,000 worth of professional and college sports wagering while actively playing college football. Despite the allegations, a judge granted an injunction allowing Sorsby to suit up this upcoming season.

Rob argues Sorsby absolutely should be suspended, but also says the NCAA helped create this problem by fully embracing legalized sports gambling. Kelvin explains why the judge’s ruling could create a dangerous precedent for future disciplinary cases, opening the door for other athletes to challenge punishments using this decision as leverage. 

Plus, during the conversation, breaking news surfaces that Big Ten officials are reportedly discussing measures that would prevent teams from playing Texas Tech in response to the fallout surrounding the case — and the guys react in real time.
