Texas Tech Distances Itself From Sorsby Lawsuit as NCAA Dispute Widens

Texas Tech athletic director Kirby Hocutt said TT did not file or fund Brendan Sorsby's lawsuit against the NCAA, even as Sorsby won a temporary injunction shielding him from NCAA penalties related to gambling rules. Sorsby is suspended for the first two games of the season; the NCAA is expected to appeal, a process that could take up to a year. TT has signaled potential legal action against the Big 12, and reactions across college sports have included calls for congressional action. Sorsby previously admitted betting on his own Indiana team, triggering NCAA guidelines on eligibility.
