NBC Sports • • general
Key Points:
- Texas Tech is prepared to legally challenge any sanctions the Big 12 might impose related to quarterback Brendan Sorsby's eligibility to play this season.
- The university is also considering litigation against schools and conferences, such as Georgia and Nebraska, that reportedly plan to boycott Texas Tech in various sports.
- Sorsby has a court-issued temporary injunction restoring his eligibility for 2026 with a two-game suspension, and Texas Tech argues that any attempt to prevent him from playing violates this order.
- Texas Tech is working with attorney Jeffrey Kessler, who secured the injunction, to defend against potential Big 12 sanctions and opposition from other schools.
- The situation highlights broader tensions in college sports regarding player rights and conference governance, with Texas Tech positioning itself to fight any punitive measures through the courts.
