    Episode 400- “The Sorsby Controversy, The NCAA Under Fire, KAT Championship Moment”
    Jun 10 2026
    In this special edition of The Ride, originally recorded live on A-Train Sports Talk via Riverside, Anthony Smith dives into one of the biggest controversies in college football and one of the biggest storylines in the NBA Finals.
    First, Anthony examines the fallout surrounding Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby after a court ruling allowed him to play despite NCAA gambling-related sanctions. Why are coaches and athletic directors across the country upset? Is the NCAA losing control of college athletics? And what message does this ruling send to athletes who have faced similar penalties in the past?
    Then, Anthony shifts to the NBA Finals where the New York Knicks and San Antonio Spurs are battling for a championship. With Victor Wembanyama forcing major defensive adjustments, can Karl-Anthony Towns rise to the occasion and deliver when the Knicks need him most?
    Join Anthony for insightful analysis, strong commentary, and thought-provoking discussion on the stories shaping the sports world.
    Topics Include:• Brendan Sorsby controversy• NCAA authority and gambling violations• Texas Tech fallout• College football integrity concerns• Karl-Anthony Towns under pressure• Victor Wembanyama's impact on the Finals• New York Knicks vs. San Antonio Spurs• Anthony's "In The Zone" commentary
