Sorsby gambled underage in Indiana and Ohio. Transferred to Texas Tech, and sent money to out-of-state proxies to place bets on his behalf while located in Texas, which is a federal crime
When I lived in Texas it viewed itself as a law and order state. Apparently AG Ken Paxton is more interested in flushing competition integrity for tens of thousands of student athletes.
None of these people have a single ounce of shame. There will be calls for federal action against Sorsby now, as it might be the only way to maintain the public trust in college sports.
As I explained below, it Texas Tech gave a shit about Brendan Sorsby the person they would be handing all of this much differently
The Texas Attorney General sent a formal letter to the Big 12 today alerting the conference that Texas Tech would take action against any league sanction.
A super majority of the Big 12 directors (schools) already have almost unlimited discretion to sanction Texas Tech. What’s more, they also have the authority to amend the Big 12 Bylaws at any time to specifically require the immediate suspension or dismissal of any school which knowingly plays an athlete who has admitted to placing bets on his own team.
News: Cody Campbell says Texas Tech would take legal action if schools or conferences decide not to play the Red Raiders.
"Guess what? That’s collusion. That’s an antitrust violation. So have fun with that one, guys" he told @DanDakich.

Every Big 12 AD but Texas Tech's Kirby Hocutt believes Brendan Sorsby shouldn't play. That was communicated today on the call
There are plenty of ideas to convince/pressure Tech to cut Sorsby loose, but Ads believe it's common sense: He bet on his sport; Tech shouldn't play him
Texas Tech and mega-booster Cody Campbell have agency in the Brendan Sorsby mess. They could cut him loose and tell him he can’t play for them.
Instead, they’d rather embarrass themselves.

A Texas court scheduled Texas Tech QB Brendan Sorsby's trial against the NCAA for Feb. 8, 2027, two weeks after the College Football Playoff National Championship is scheduled to be played.

Sources: Don’t expect any immediate action from the Big 12 on the Brendan Sorsby ruling. The Big 12 has defined a process to address it, which begins with an AD call today. The Big 12 executive board will meet Thursday to discuss options.
