The Big 12 Board of Directors meeting today to discuss the Brendan Sorsby situation just ended with no decision, as expected. The Big 12 Board of Directors Statement to ESPN says "all options" remain and includes this: "Universities should not field players who have bet on their own team’s games in college athletics."
Remember, during today's literal cage match on the White House grounds:
No matter what, it's not his house. It's our house.

USA. A breakfast counter. The waitress recommended the biscuits and gravy, and when the plate arrived, I thought something had gone wrong in the kitchen.
I say this with shame. The dish looked like a construction site after rain. Pale mounds. Gray ladle-fall. Speckles I could not identify.
In my land, the eye eats first. A meal is arranged like a garden. This meal was arranged like weather.
"Is it… finished?" I asked, carefully.
"Honey, that's what it looks like."
The man beside me was already eating his. He did not look up. "Just try it."
I am a man who has charged hillsides at dawn. I raised the fork. I tried it.
I must now formally apologize to the biscuits, the gravy, the waitress, the kitchen, and the entire breakfast tradition of the American South.
It was magnificent. Warm. Peppered. The biscuit drank the gravy the way a field drinks rain — THAT is why it is shaped like that, you fool — and every mound I had insulted was a soft fold of comfort that my homeland, in eight hundred years, never once thought to invent.
"Well?" the waitress asked.
"I judged it," I confessed. "By its appearance. I am ashamed."
"Everybody does, hon."
Everybody does. A national dish that forgives you for doubting it. It expects the doubt. It waits for you on the other side of it.
Do not judge the gravy by its face. Judge yourself, for hesitating.
I order it every Saturday now. I no longer see the construction site. I see only the garden.
It was a garden the whole time. The eye must be trained.
He built several successful companies. Those companies, unlike you, have value.
Your want to help regular people. No fed income tax on the first 75k you make per year, secure the border, roll back foreign aid by about 70%, and term limits for the likes of you.
Elon Musk just became the world's first trillionaire.
The typical American household would have to work more than 11 MILLION years to make Elon Musk's level of wealth.
We need a wealth tax.
If Brendan Sorsby does ultimately return to the field against Houston Week 3, the same weekend Lane Kiffin returns to Oxford, the internet may never recover.
I know Texas Tech is in a spot no school wants to be in but I'm genuinely surprised at how poorly they have handled this. With the money they have this might be the worst PR campaign we have seen

Exhibit 43567 on how imbalanced the playing field is at this point in terms of NIL and personnel, and there's no fix in sight.
#FSU fans upset about football recruiting & personnel should also take note: this is systemic; it's not just about a single coach.
I’ve never had an issue paying players- above or under the table. It is what is. But you can’t bet on your own sport & team as a CFB player. That sets a very dangerous precedent. No other way to say it. I’m not saying he can’t have an NFL career but there has to be some meaningful punishment here.
There really aren’t any rules. You just go to court. If it fails, go to court again until a judge says you’re all set.
Want a 7th year?
Sure
Broke rules?
Ahhhh, it’s fine.
There AREN’T any rules.
