Sorsby Exit Resolves Big 12 Legal Drama | Texas Tech Red Raiders Football News

The Brendan Sorsby eligibility saga with Texas Tech and the Big 12 finally ends in a messy, legal tangle that forced Sorsby’s departure before the season began. A Lubbock court granted him temporary clearance despite NCAA gambling concerns, sparking outrage from the Big 12 and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, who warned of intervention. The conference argued Sorsby’s play violated rules—even with a court order—and threatened sanctions, including championship bans. Coach Joey McGuire confronted Sorsby after the lawsuit erupted, then told the team he was leaving to protect their title chances. Though Sorsby’s exit should’ve ended the drama, the Big 12 waited months to officially drop the case—no explanation offered. But Texas Tech walks away unscathed: no legal fees to pay, and the conference’s grip on the situation is finally loosened.
