Big 12 preview: Despite the drama, Texas Tech stil...

Back when the NIL era was in its nascent stages, with a new Big 12 and a 12-team College Football Playoff on the way, I wondered if there was room for the emergence of a Clemson-style dynasty from a conference known primarily for the endless number of close games. If some team could craft a recruiting boost from both solid spending and sustained success, perhaps they could ride that to a series of conference titles and, perhaps, even playoff runs? I admittedly didn't have a specific team in...

Texas Tech cannot play the victim in Brendan Sorsby saga, it could’ve dealt with PR mess months ago

How many times does someone have to break the rules before consequences have to be paid for the wrongdoings? I'd imagine plenty of college football fans were asking this question over the past 72 hours while watching the fallout from Brendan Sorsby being granted an injunction that will allow him to play this season for Texas Tech. There comes a point when one has to ask themselves how much there is to gain from allowing an athlete to stay on the team when there is so much backlash coming...

Brendan Sorsby broke NCAA gambling rules. Now, his Texas Tech fate is in the hands of a Lubbock judge

Brendan Sorsby was not present in a Lubbock courtroom Monday morning as his attorneys made what the NCAA described as a "Hail Mary" attempt to overturn his ineligibility stemming from sports gambling violations. In one of the most consequential NCAA eligibility cases in recent memory, given its potential ramifications, attorney Jeffrey Kessler argued that the Texas Tech quarterback's gambling addiction and mental health struggles should have been considered in determining his eligibility. He...

Wetzel: Judge should slam the door on Texas Tech QB Sorsby

All due respect and concern should be granted to Brendan Sorsby and his gambling addiction -- a medical condition diagnosed by professionals. That said, the argument that the Texas Tech quarterback should be granted an injunction to maintain his NCAA eligibility after getting busted for prolific sports wagering stands up about as well as an igloo on a West Texas oil patch in June. The NCAA deemed Sorsby permanently ineligible earlier this spring after discovering he made thousands of bets on...

Terry's RBI lifts Texas Tech over UCLA at WCWS

OKLAHOMA CITY -- Kaitlyn Terry drove in the go-ahead run against her former team, and Texas Tech eliminated UCLA 8-7 in nine innings Sunday night in the Women's College World Series. The No. 11 Red Raiders will have to defeat top-seeded Alabama twice Monday to advance back to the championship series.

Texas court sets Sorbsy-NCAA trial for February

A Texas court scheduled Texas Tech quarterback 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 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. The 99th District Court in Lubbock County, Texas, where Texas Tech is located, scheduled the trial Monday, the same day a judge granted Sorsby a temporary injunction that might clear him to play for the Red Raiders in 2026 even after the NCAA declared him...
