There are concentric circles of responsibility and accountability in the Brendan Sorsby fiasco. The two innermost circles failed. We’re on to the third now.

He was given direct, fair consequences for that—ineligibility to play college football. It wouldn’t have ended his football life, but it would have ended his college career.
