The Connor O'Gara Show EP. 1 | Texas Tech’s Brendan Sorsby Gambling Mess Just Got Worse

The debut episode of The Connor O’Gara Show is here on The Next Round digital platform, and Connor is joined by Lance Taylor — LT — for a loose, live Friday morning conversation on college football, gambling, wild personal stories and the start of a new weekly series. Connor and LT dive into the Brendan Sorsby gambling situation and why Texas Tech has found itself in the middle of a major PR storm. Is the school backing Sorsby because of loyalty — or because he represents a massive NIL investment? LT also opens up about his past as a college bookmaker, why he eventually walked away from the business, and how the modern NIL era has completely changed the conversation around college athletes and gambling. Plus, Connor and LT swap unbelievable run-ins with authority — from a college house party SWAT raid to LT being detained by the DEA after a Burger King parking lot drug deal gone wrong.
