\u201cI think right now so many people can point the finger at like, well he’s gonna play, he\u2019s gonna play,\u201d said McGuire. \u201cHe can play is what the judge said, what we’re trying to do is get him to a healthy space where he feels great about what he is doing, and he can deal with this addiction.\u201d<\/p>\n
24 hours earlier at luncheon at the Houston Touchdown Club, McGuire called it \u201ca stretch<\/a>\u201d that Sorsby would be ready to play by Week 3 on the road against Houston. A point the video doesn\u2019t touch on is the surrounding discussion fellow teams and conferences are having across the country in college football.<\/p>\n Throughout the week, according to reports, the Big Ten has had conversations surrounding a potential conference-wide hiatus of playing the Red Raiders. While the Big 12 held a conversation with athletic directors across the conference discussing the \u201cbroader implications of the situation,\u201d Commissioner Brett Yormark confirmed in a statement<\/a> the next day after the results of the hearing. Yormark confirmed that the dialogue of the discussion \u201cwould remain in the conference.\u201d<\/p>\n In response to the discussions, CBS Senior National College Football reporter Brandon Marcello said. Texas Tech would consider \u201clegal action\u201d if any other programs or conferences attempted to exclude the Red Raiders from competition or impede their scheduling. However, it’s not just schools set to take action, but lawmakers as well.<\/p>\n Yesterday, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton wrote a letter addressed to Yormark and the Big 12 Conference chair of the board of directors, Douglas Girod, stating that any of the conference efforts to sanction Tech would \u201cbe a violation of federal and state antitrust laws.\u201d Before today, Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond called the claims from Paxton \u201cmeritless<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n The NCAA appealed the injunction, with a date set for February, well after the college football season for now. There is no clear answer to what happens going forward, but the college football world is answering that Sorsby can play in 2026. But no one knows how long this tug of war between Texas Tech and seemingly anyone in or out of the conference will last.<\/p>\n Nonetheless, public opinion surrounding Texas Tech has seemingly been very negative.<\/p>\n Latest Texas Tech News<\/p>\n Stay up-to-date on Texas Tech athletics by bookmarking\u00a0Texas Tech On\u00a0<\/a>SI and following us on\u00a0X\/Twitter<\/a>.<\/p>\n
