The Weekender: Texas Tech Continues Defense of Sorsby, Michigan State’s AD Could Be on the Move, Volchko Tosses CWS Complete-Game Gem Against Texas
Eleven Warriors • • sports
Key Points:
- Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby was granted a temporary injunction against the NCAA, restoring his eligibility amid a gambling investigation where he admitted to betting on his own team in 2022; this has led to backlash from programs like Georgia and Nebraska, who have barred scheduling games against Texas Tech.
- Texas Tech's athletics department defends its support of Sorsby, emphasizing assistance with his gambling addiction, while trying to distance itself from the lawsuit that secured the injunction.
- Michigan State athletic director J Batt is reportedly being pursued by Kentucky, which could lead to another leadership change at Michigan State, a school that has seen multiple AD and presidential turnovers recently.
- Georgia pitcher Joey Volchko delivered an exceptional performance against Texas in the College World Series, pitching a complete game with 15 strikeouts and leading Georgia to a 7-1 victory.
- Despite some schools refusing to schedule Texas Tech following the Sorsby ruling, the Big Ten announced it will allow member schools to decide independently whether to schedule games against Texas Tech.
