Big 12 ADs hold call to air out grievances over Sorsby ruling

Key Points:

• The Big 12 athletic directors, except Texas Tech's Kirby Hocutt, unanimously oppose the eligibility of Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby for the next season following a judge's decision allowing him to play despite his sports gambling admissions.
• The decision by Judge Ken Curry to grant Sorsby a temporary injunction protecting his eligibility has sparked strong criticism and disappointment among league executives and athletic directors.
• The Big 12 is undertaking a multi-step process to address the situation, including an executive board meeting on Thursday and a full board of presidents and chancellors meeting next week to consider potential actions.
• While the Texas ruling prevents the NCAA from barring Sorsby from participation this season, the Big 12 may explore disciplinary measures under league bylaw 3.6, which could include postseason bans or other restrictions.
• Commissioner Brett Yormark emphasized ongoing, confidential discussions among athletic directors as the conference seeks to navigate the broader implications of the case.
