In the wake of the Brendan Sorsby court decision, the athletics departments for Georgia and Nebraska have banned their teams from scheduling any future games against Texas Tech, and Georgia said it would “determine next steps” on any matchups already scheduled.
Georgia compliance director Will Lawler sent a memo to coaches and staff Monday afternoon, hours after Sorsby was awarded a temporary injunction by a Texas judge to play this season despite Sorsby’s history with gambling, including betting on his own team in 2022 when he was a member of the Indiana Hoosiers. The NCAA has filed a notice of appeal in the case.
“Based on recent developments, Georgia Athletics will not schedule future contests against Texas Tech until further notice,” Lawler wrote. “Please review your sport’s current schedules and future scheduling plans. If you have any contests currently scheduled against Texas Tech, or are actively engaged in scheduling discussions with Texas Tech, please notify your sports administrator as soon as possible so we can evaluate the situation and determine next steps.”
The note concluded by saying that the decision was “effective immediately,” and reiterated that no games against Texas Tech could be scheduled without “prior approval from the athletic department.”
There are no football games scheduled between Georgia and Texas Tech. It was not immediately clear if any other sports had scheduled games. The other two fall sports that have announced their schedules, volleyball and women’s soccer, do not have Texas Tech on the schedule.
Georgia officials declined comment. The memo was obtained from a source at the school.
In a similar note sent to Nebraska coaches and obtained by The Athletic, deputy athletic director Haven Fields said that Nebraska “will not schedule any contests vs. Texas Tech in any sport. If you currently have a future contest already scheduled, please connect with (athletic director) Troy (Dannen) immediately.”
