The drama arising from quarterback Brendan Sorsby\u2019s saucer of sorbet at Texas Tech isn\u2019t ending.<\/p>\n
At the Big 12 Media Days (Something Something Monster Energy), Cincinnati football coach Scott Satterfield claimed that Texas Tech was one of several schools that spoke with Sorsby\u2019s camp<\/a> about transferring before the 2025 season ended. If true, that would be a violation of the NCAA\u2019s tampering rules.<\/p>\n \u201cWe had already heard that schools had reached out \u2014 Texas Tech in particular had already reached out \u2014 with four games left,\u201d Satterfield told Chris Vannini of The Athletic. \u201cSo we knew we wouldn\u2019t be able to compete financially with that, so we\u2019d started looking for quarterbacks.\u201d<\/p>\n Sorsby\u2019s agent, Ron Slavin, denied to The Athletic that he heard from Texas Tech before the 2025 season ended.<\/p>\n Tampering is rampant in the Wild West that is college football in the NIL age. Everyone does it, to the point at which any program that doesn\u2019t is operating at a disadvantage.<\/p>\n Satterfield basically acknowledged this.<\/p>\n “[Tampering] happens no matter how you finish the season for everybody,\u201d Satterfield said. \u201cIf you\u2019ve got a good player, people are going to contact them. It\u2019s just how we live right now. Everybody\u2019s got agents, and so the player never does it. They don\u2019t really talk to anybody. The agents do all the talking, and they talk to the GMs out there recruiting people. It\u2019s the world we\u2019re living in right now, so there\u2019s nothing you\u2019re going to do about it.\u201d<\/p>\n
