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 \u201cdetermine next steps\u201d on any matchups already scheduled.<\/p>\n

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\u2019s 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<\/a> in the case.<\/p>\n

\u201cBased on recent developments, Georgia Athletics will not schedule future contests against Texas Tech until further notice,\u201d Lawler wrote. \u201cPlease review your sport\u2019s 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

The note concluded by saying that the decision was \u201ceffective immediately,\u201d and reiterated that no games against Texas Tech could be scheduled without \u201cprior approval from the athletic department.\u201d<\/p>\n

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\u2019s soccer, do not have Texas Tech on the schedule.<\/p>\n

Georgia officials declined comment. The memo was obtained from a source at the school.<\/p>\n

In a similar note sent to Nebraska coaches and obtained by The Athletic, deputy athletic director Haven Fields said that Nebraska \u201cwill 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.\u201d<\/p>\n
