[Directors’ Cup Updates @Direct_Cupdates]

The @TexasLonghorns and AD @_delconte have secured their 5th NACDA Learfield Directors' Cup Championship.

The award is given to the top performing athletic department. The Longhorn's top performing teams include:

🥇🏆 @TexasRowing 🚣‍♀️ @TexasSoftball 🥎@TexasMSD 🏊‍♂️

🥈 @TexasMTN 🎾

🥉 @TexasWBB 🏀 @TexasWSD 🏊‍♀️ @TexasBeachVB 🏐

5th place @TexasVolleyball 🏐 @TexasMGolf 🏌️‍♂️ @TexasWGolf 🏌️‍♀️

7th @TexasBaseball ⚾️ (ongoing)

Congrats to all the athletes and staff who have made this possible.

**Note: This assumes Stanford W Track does not win the Championship. Their max score is 30 points in the meet and no team scoring 30 or fewer points has finished higher than 5th place.**

This is a fascinating chart!

Texas rarely finished outside of the top 10 in any sport it participated in.

Also puts into perspective the sport’s participation, e.g., the “NO ONE ELSE DOES SWIMMING” crowd.

[Chris La Puma🌲 @ChrisLaPuma]

I see @Direct_Cupdates being asked how Texas and Stanford compare in terms of the sports they participate in. So I thought it would be interesting to put them side by side and to rank the sports by # of participating schools. I'll update when we have final #s. /1

What Starts Here Changes The World ™

[Ross Dellenger @RossDellenger]

Athletic officials from Nebraska and Georgia sent department-wide memos today instructing their coaches and sport deputies not to schedule Texas Tech. If games are already scheduled, the schools may work to cancel the matchups.

Here's Georgia's message:

@zach_barnett The whole justice system bends to the timeline of the NFL supplemental draft.

Good breakdown on the Sorsby situation re: appeals timeline and if things could change again by the beginning of the season.

TLDR is no. Looks like he’s playing.

[Christopher Kratovil @chris_kratovil]

As a veteran Texas litigator who has fought my fair share of TRO/TI battles, several things to be aware of regarding the temporary injunction order issued to allow Brendan Sorsby to play for Texas Tech this season:

(1) The temporary injunction obtained by Sorsby is valid through the date of trial. So by setting the trial date for after the college football season ends the Lubbock County state district court effectively awards Sorsby ultimate relief; he can play the full season under the TI, excluding only the first two games carved out in the text of the TI order.

(2) In Texas a TI is subject to immediate (“interlocutory”) appeal. The appeal will go to the 7th Court of Appeals in Amarillo, Texas.

(3) The problem with the appeal is that even an accelerated appeal of the TI order is likely to take at least 9 to 12 months, meaning the college football season will be long over before the Amarillo Court of Appeals affirms or vacates the TI.

(4) The only way the interlocutory appeal of the TI order gets resolved before the college football season ends is if the Amarillo Court of Appeals orders expedited briefings and decides the appeal “on the papers” without oral argument. But even such an expedited appeal is likely to run well into the college football season.

(5) At bottom, as Diego Pavia and now Brendan Sorsby illustrate, these sort of emergency injunctive proceedings are a huge problem for the NCAA: hometown judges (in Texas elected at the county level) err on the side of granting the TI to allow the key player to play for Hometown U, and the college football season is much shorter than the appellate process. So the preliminary ruling on the emergency injunction effectively decides the entire case and, if granted, allows the player to play a full season.

[Ross Dellenger @RossDellenger]

Big 12 ADs tell @YahooSports they’ve had “serious” talks on not playing Texas Tech. One SEC AD says there should be conversations about not playing Tech “in any sports.”

The Brendan Sorsby ruling has left an industry jarred.

“It’s total f***** bullshit.”

Texas is offering to play Tech softball at a neutral site on Wednesday in OKC. We’ll be on the field. If Tech isn’t there, clearly they’re too scared. Guess we’ll see.

Unprecedented Dominance: Texas Rowing has broken the world record fastest time EVER in the history of the world.

The previous fastest time was set by Romania in the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games with a time of 5:52.99.

Texas was 5.284 seconds faster. Just incredible.
