If an Illinois player admitted to gambling on college sports and their own teams I would hope this athletic department would support them in recovery from potential gambling addiction but not in getting back on the team.

Letting him play sends a message to the rest of the team. Not letting him play sends a different message. Which message is better for the team? For the sport? IMO no football team should touch him ever again, creating an exmple. Don’t even think about bringing this contagion into our locker room!

Sure, help him with rehab and maybe also to finish school. He threw one opportunity away but can still build a very good life for himself.

I guess the poetic justice outcome would be for Texas Tech to play the guy, only to later find out he cost them several games via point shaving.

Even if he doesn’t point shave, every Texas Tech fan is going to scrutinize with angst every incomplete pass or fumble Sorsby makes. They may not vocalize it outwardly, but internally they’ll wonder.
