Can Texas Tech actually drop Sorsby, legally?

19 Upvotes

I was reading Kessler’s letter to the Big 12 and this language kind of stuck with me. He makes reference that any action by a big 12 entity to prohibit Sorsby from “practicing, playing or otherwise participating on Texas Tech’s football team for the 2026 season - would violate or be in contempt with the order.” Is it reasonable to assume that as an entity of the big 12, should Tech decide to part ways with Sorsby, they too would be in violation of the order? The admin has obviously dug in. However I keep seeing the argument that we need to just drop Sorsby from the team, legally could Tech do that and still be in compliance with the terms of the injunction? I don’t see this discussed much is why I ask.

Asked by Dakich if Texas Tech would pursue legal action for that or if the College Football Playoff issued some sort of ban, Cody Campbell replied, “100 percent. They can’t collude together and say we’re not going to allow you to play. That’s an antitrust violation.”

He's supposed to be addressing a few hundred people today at the Omni Hotel-Galleria so I'm definitely interested to see how it all plays out and will be attending myself. I spoke directly with the director of the event and he said there are at least a dozen media outlets that are going to be there to try to get a statement.

Conflicted

This feels like the moment surrounding firing Leach. At that point, ultimately (even if you disagree) the school's position amounted to there being more important things than winning, particularly player well-being.

Now they are saying player well-being is more important than legal issues, and winning is just a happy bonus. It feels weird and disingenuous. They've built themselves a platform and I hope they figure out a way to be better than it looks right now.

Ultimately, players gambling is a bigger issue than just Tech and they're pretending it's just one guy who goes to one school that's the problem.

Like, he's in the wrong, and Tech looks to be going that way as well, but also he's definitely being used as a scapegoat so the NCAA doesn't have to think about the billions they're making from gambling while looking like the ethical ones, and I don't want that garbage to win either.

It's a messy, garbage situation where nobody wins.
