Kobach Backs Big 12 in Sorsby Scandal

Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach is siding with the Big 12 in the Brendan Sorsby controversy, arguing that the conference has the right to enforce its own rules—even with a temporary injunction allowing Sorsby to play. Kobach dismisses Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s antitrust threats as baseless and offers his office’s legal support to the Big 12, stressing that athletic conferences operate under their own bylaws and that undermining them would erode college football’s integrity. While the Big 12 has already sued Texas Tech and Paxton, Kobach acknowledges the injunction but insists it doesn’t prevent conference discipline. His backing adds weight to the Big 12’s position as legal battles over athlete eligibility and conference authority intensify. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
