A Texas state judge ordered Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby to be eligible to play next season after challenging an NCAA ban tied to sports betting, including wagers on his own team. The 99th District Court in Lubbock County issued a temporary injunction, finding Sorsby would face “probable, imminent and irreparable injury” if he were barred from competition. The judge imposed a two-game suspension and scheduled his return for the Big 12 opener against the University of Houston on Sept. 18. The NCAA said it will appeal and warned the ruling undermines the integrity of college athletics. Big 12 coaches and administrators are holding meetings in response to the decision, and reported actions include directions to avoid scheduling Texas Tech in non-conference play—an escalation that could influence league calendars and competitive matchups. The dispute also illustrates the growing intersection of NCAA governance, state court authority, and student-athlete mental-health framing in enforcement decisions.
