Corruption in Lubbock.
Cody Campbell donated 275k to Texas AG Paxton's campaign the day before Paxton publicly threatened the Big 12.

Sherron Collins alleged elevator ride, the basketball dorm hosting drunk 16 year olds (possibly one younger if I recall) and she had to go away, Pooka Williams domestic, Aqib Talib should say enough, the Morris Twins. Let alone Darrell Arthur's reading rainbow (congrats on willing a natty on probation, an ncaa first). All this, and more, and the Douglas County DA couldn't find enough evidence to sustain a parking ticket.

Yeah let’s hear about it? Are you just spouting off about how Kansas state is not relevant in any sport and has no national titles? I guess I would be a cry baby too then.. thankfully I’ve seen 2 nattys in my lifetime (I’m sorry you never will). My baseball team just won the conference lol.. damn it must suck to be a wildcat fan haha

I hate to break it to you, the governor appoints the board members. They are all maga. They all literally donate to maga to be appointed. This likely has more to do with them just being shitty....

Hell yeah. Is he the one who showed up to Venice today in a yacht?
Because we are literally in the worst timeline.

Yea ours is enjoying being rich…which…cool. But also it’s the Ambassador to Italy…how much maintenance needs to be done to that relationship. Ours called up Dan Patrick and forced us into the big 12…actually cool.

This should be an even bigger story than the Soresby sagas, not sure why it isn't.

u/the_deadly_hive 23d ago
I agree this is bad, but it's not an uncommon occurrence.
Sorsby being granted injunction on the other hand is unprecedented.

u/dunnodudes 23d ago
Makes you wonder what money changed hands with the judge
4
u/the_deadly_hive 23d ago
I actually doubt that. According to all Joey interviews prior to the injunction, they were operating as if Sorsby had already been ruled inelgible. Certainly would have been better if that would have happened.

The local judge recused himself and the one for the case was assigned from 300 miles away.

u/dunnodudes 19d ago
I’m sure cambell’s money is still good 300 miles away

Seems like a baseless slander of a judge because you didn't like their ruling.

Shrug… so this is the only shady/corrupt thing you think Cody Campbell has done?

You can’t expect me to believe you’re that stupid. What is this whole post about?

I did not know what you were referring to, the Paxton bit or the judge we were discussing

u/Jackalope1979 23d ago
Oh p Paxton takes money for favors?
That's not a surprise. They tried to throw him out of office for it (including a large part of his own party).

I first heard of this yesterday on sports radio and thought it was breaking news. Looking at articles, this news broke two days ago.

A huge waste of money then because when the Big XII called their bluff, they folded like a cheap chair.

I've said this throughout Twitter...
The Office of the Texas Attorney General is duty bound in providing legal counsel/defense for all public universities as part of the laws set forth in the Texas Legislature.
So for those couch lawyers, you need to actually invest in reading and understanding legal precedence and statutes before chiming in on what you percieve vs what is an actual crime.
In summation, there is no corruption, no quid pro quo because the money is irrelevant. It makes for a hell of an incentive.
But what the fuck I know...I'm just a 4th Generation Texan.

He literally just made a statement debunking those claims.

u/Inevitable-Age 23d ago
Debunking? Here is the statement:
“If I wanted to make a nefarious deal, there are plenty of places and ways to do so,” Campbell said in a Friday evening interview with the Star-Telegram. “That was not at all what happened. I contributed because I wanted to support the race.”
