Texas Tech Red Raiders
· 2026-07-05
Texas Tech Red Raiders quarterback Brendan Sorsby has been granted a temporary injunction, making him eligible for the 2026 season despite an NCAA ruling that deemed him ineligible due to a gambling addiction.
The injunction has sparked outrage in the college football world, with many athletic directors considering a boycott of games against the Red Raiders.
Kansas State athletic director Gene Taylor told Yahoo Sports that they've had serious conversations about not playing the Red Raiders this year.
The Red Raiders' administration has been criticized for allowing Sorsby to play, with many believing that his actions compromised the integrity of the game.
Sorsby admitted to placing dozens of bets on his own team while playing football at Indiana, as well as thousands more on professional sports.
The Big 12 athletic directors will continue to discuss the situation and determine the best course of action.
Georgia Bulldogs AD Josh Brooks has also called for teams to cancel their games against the Red Raiders, citing concerns about the competitive integrity of the contest.
The Red Raiders' first two games of the year are against Abilene Christian and Oregon State, with Sorsby set to return for the Big 12 opener against Houston on 2026-09-05.
And the NCAA will likely face pressure to revisit their ruling and consider further action against Sorsby.
But for now, the Red Raiders will prepare for their upcoming season, despite the uncertainty surrounding their quarterback's eligibility.
So the college football world will be watching closely to see how this situation unfolds.
The Red Raiders' next game is vs Abilene Christian Wildcats on 2026-09-05.
