NEW: Big 12 ADs say “serious” talks have been held about not playing Texas Tech after Brendan Sorsby's ruling, @RossDellenger reports.

Texas Tech is currently pushing legislation that would have made Brendan Sorsby's second transfer illegal while simultaneously fighting for him to be eligible after gambling on his own games.
If I was an AD I'd drop them from my 2026 schedule.
As disastrous a ruling as there has ever been in modern sports. The pathway is now clear: gamble as much as you like, including on your own team and hope you are--or get--good enough that you can lawyer up down the line. A much bigger disaster than anything with NIL or portal.
• 9000 different bets
• $90,000 wagered
• Betting on games he suited up for
• Willfully ignoring classes and meetings from 3 different institutions about the one cardinal sin in sports
But hey, find a local judge and convince him the kid will be really sad if he doesn’t get to play and none of that matters does it?
What a joke.
Bill Simmons on the Nuggets:
“Why do they have to trade anybody to sign Peyton Watson? You have Jokic in your team, pay everyone, F*** off. Kroenke has a gazillion dollars, just keep everybody AND pay Peyton Watson. Your owner is super rich what are we doing?”
