A Texas judge granted a preliminary injunction allowing Brendan Sorsby to play for Texas Tech, despite the NCAA’s appeal. Sorsby’s attorneys argued that the NCAA breached its contractual obligations and that Sorsby struggled with gambling addiction and mental health.

NCAA Appeal

The NCAA has filed a notice of appeal in the Seventh District of Texas, signaling that the fight is far from over. The appellate court’s makeup has drawn attention, as all four judges attended Texas Tech. However, there is no suggestion that their educational background would influence their decision-making.

Big 12 Commissioner Brett Yormark and league administrators are expected to proceed carefully over the next few weeks. The conference may explore separate disciplinary action, but any attempt to sanction Sorsby could open the door to additional litigation.
