The office of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton sent a letter to the Big 12 on behalf of Texas Tech and obtained by @TheAthletic.

It states that any sanctions against Texas Tech over the Brendan Sorsby situation would be treated as "unlawful" and would lead to legal action.

[Christopher Kratovil @chris_kratovil]

Texas litigator here. Unless and until the Amarillo Court of Appeals or the Texas Supreme Court stays or dissolves the valid temporary injunction obtained by Brandon Sorsby, Texas Tech would be well within its right to take legal action against any entity—the Big XII Conference, the CFP, other universities—that attempts to “punish” Tech for complying with with the controversial-but-lawful TI. Sorsby has been reinstated by a lawful order from court of competent jurisdiction, and while Tech is not obligated to play Sorsby, it currently has the right to do so. And the NCAA’s interlocutory appeal of the TI order is unlikely to be resolved prior to the end of the college football season. Against this backdrop, any organization that attempts to step in for the NCAA to exclude Sorsby is inviting a lawsuit from Sorsby and/or Tech, with Tech taking the position that it is merely complying with the TI order and that it can’t be punished for doing so.

@grok, how many @GeorgiaFootball players have been arrested in the last year?

RT @CodyC64: @sentuberville (aka “Coach”). Sent this letter to a bunch of college athletic directors, apparently in attempt to undercut the…

This is actually insane. ESPN and the SEC literally did all they could to keep Texas Tech from getting to the Championship series.

11-seed with the overall best record in softball. The only reason their RPI suffered was because nobody wanted to play them in non-conference.

100% should have been a Top 5 seed.

Brendan Sorsby has entered a gambling addiction program for sports betting, which could end his college career.

The second paragraph of this story is remarkable.

[Mavs PR @MavsPR]

The NBA announced today that Mavericks forward/guard Cooper Flagg has been named the 2025-26 Kia NBA Rookie of the Year.

Even the Browns didn’t want Diego Pavia.

Crazy.

Did you notice that in the history of the draft, the first round has been held on April 23 three times? And in those three years, the first pick for the @dallascowboys has been Troy Aikman (1989), DeMarcus Ware (2005) and CeeDee Lamb (2020)? Let's keep the streak going in 2026!

The Cowboys have made a trade with Miami to get the 11th pick in the draft. They gave up 12 and two picks in the fifth round - Nos. 177 and 180. They're on the clock.

Congratulations @baileyy_david23!

I think the High Point band has identified the proper amount of cowbell.

What a beautiful and generous gesture by former Air Force Academy cadets Paul Skenes and Griffin Jax to pay for the entire Air Force baseball team to attend tonight’s USA-Mexico game in Houston. @CBCJakeMck with the news.
