Is it shitty?
Yes
Can I blame Tech for doing it?
No
They know they can get away with it so why not try to win at all costs?

What’s the clinical name for people who do shitty things because they know they can get away with it? Sociopaths? They know it’s wrong. They do it anyway. We really need to bring back consequences.

I have misplaced my pants.
That may be the smartest thing I'll read all month. But don't get a big head - I don't read much.
But your words have a lot of wisdom. The NCAA actually tried to do the right thing, and found out that they aren't allowed to. Like someone else said:
If there is any truth to this self-policing, that's great. Black-ball them in any way you can. I was saying that about CMU's involvement with Connor Stalions. But, even if the words are true, they're just words. I think if it make a team a couple bucks to play Texas Tech, then they'll play Texas Tech.

Wrong glass, Sir.
If I have epilepsy, I'm afforded certain protections against some forms of discrimination by the law. I, however, am not entitled to be an airline pilot or air traffic controller.

Tech is the epitome of a two-bit poverty school that hit the lotto because a rich alum is obsessed with the foosball. I put the odds at maybe 10%, but it will be hilarious if the other B12 schools boycott them this season.

Hopefully, this will push TTU to push Sorsby into the supplemental draft. Let the NFL deal with this.

A lot of hyperbole as people line up to show who can be more outraged and clutch their pearls over the "integrity" of CFB is all I see.
The guy made micro bets at IU when he was buried in the depth chart and had no influence on games, never bet on his team at UC or TT. That fact pattern does not equal 1919 Black Sox or Pete Rose.
Reality is more that the sport of CFB has always lacked "integrity" depending on how you define that or how far you want to play that charade. What people are actually upset about is the TT oil booster just blatantly buying the program into relevance whether that be buying players via NIL or local judges for a ruling. It feels like he's cheating but under the new rules, he isn't.
Floating the idea of refusing to play the TT women's soccer team over this is as absurd as the judges ruling.
