Got the Black Aces S4, M4 clone from PSA for $249. At that price point I can easily afford to swap out any parts for the real deal. Picked it up Friday, took it home and stripped, cleaned it, and then lubricated it. Took it to the range today to break it in with 60, 1600 fps slugs, without a single issue. I'm happy.
So far so good.
Results from the first range trip with my Regard.
Broke in the Untouchable this last weekend.
If you think Texas Tech has outsmarted the NCAA by using a Texas Judge to get Brendan Sorsby on the field, you are missing the massive legal trap waiting for them.
Sorsby committed the cardinal sin of sports: he ran a $90,000 betting operation that included betting on his own team. By using a temporary civil injunction to force him onto the field, Tech’s Athletic Director and President are betting the entire future of the university on absolute fool’s odds.
Here is why this is guaranteed to end in a bloodbath for Texas Tech and why the Big 12 is panicking today.
Tech fans think this injunction protects them. It doesn't. It is the exact same "delay-and-draft" trap Terrelle Pryor used on Ohio State, but exponentially worse.
| The Step | What Will Happen | The NCAA Consequence |
|---|---|---|
| 1. The Season | Sorsby plays the 2026 season under the temporary protection of the judge's injunction. | The NCAA is temporarily blocked, but the underlying violation remains unresolved. |
| 2. The Draft | In January, Sorsby declares for the NFL Draft and signs with an agent. | He is no longer a student-athlete, making his lawsuit against the NCAA completely moot. |
| 3. The Dismissal | Sorsby’s lawyers drop the lawsuit. The injunction immediately dissolves. | Sorsby walks away free to the NFL, leaving Tech completely exposed. |
| 4. The Hammer | NCAA Bylaw 12.11.1 (The Restitution Rule) automatically triggers. | Because the injunction was dropped, the NCAA retroactively vacates every 2026 win, claws back all TV/Bowl money, and drops a multi-year ban on Tech. |
Texas Tech isn't just risking their own program; they are actively threatening the multi-billion-dollar TV contracts of the entire sport.
| The Entity | Their Immediate Threat to Texas Tech / Big 12 |
|---|---|
| ESPN / FOX | Can threaten to withhold the Big 12's $380M TV payout for "breach of contract," arguing Tech is intentionally providing a corrupted, compromised product that advertisers and sportsbooks will boycott. |
| The SEC / Big Ten | Can initiate soft boycotts, refuse non-conference scheduling, or even sue Tech in federal court for "tortious interference" for devaluing the collective brand of college football. |
| The Big 12 | Commissioner Brett Yormark is facing a mutiny. If he doesn't suspend Tech today, the other 15 schools could sue the conference for fiduciary negligence if ESPN pulls their CFP and TV money. |
Tech’s administration is committing fiduciary malpractice. They are risking $15M+ in retroactive fines, the destruction of their brand, and isolation from the rest of college football just to get a few temporary wins with a QB who will abandon them the second the season ends.
The Big 12 has to force Tech to bench him today, or the Board of Regents needs to fire the AD for cause to save the university. There is no reality where Texas Tech wins this.
Yes, I used an AI tool to help pull the exact NCAA bylaw numbers and organize the timeline so it wasn't just a giant wall of text. But the facts are the facts. Does anyone actually have a counter-argument to how the Restitution Rule works, or are we just going to complain about my formatting?
