Top Texas Tech football donor says nobody has 'authority' to 'enforce any rules' in college sports right now

Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby has stepped away from football to enter a residential treatment program for a gambling addiction. Dakich explains why the NCAA should not suspend Sorsby.

Texas Tech football was thrust into a national controversy this week when transfer quarterback Brendan Sorsby checked into gambling addiction rehab.

The football program is now facing a new controversy after one of its top donors has attracted a different type of controversy in recent months.

Texas Tech alumnus Cody Campbell, a prominent energy industry billionaire and GOP donor, told Fox News Digital in an interview Friday, three days before news broke of Sorsby's entrance into gambling addiction treatment, that he had "concern" with consistency and enforcement of what is allowed in college sports and what isn't.

"I have concern with consistency and enforcement. I have concern with, you know, the difficulty that schools have in, you know, navigating the rules. I mean, most schools don't even know what the rules are. It's, it's not clear what's legal and what's not legal," Campbell said when asked if he has a concern with the current state of oversight in the NCAA.

"I mean, I think the entire governance model right now in college sports is completely broken and ineffective. Nobody has the authority or ability to enforce any rules right now."

Campbell did not provide further comment after news of Sorsby's rehab broke.

Campbell got into a heated debate with Big 12 Commissioner Brett Yormark earlier this
