Big 12 Pressed to Sanction Texas Tech Over Sorsby Wagering Scandal

Pat Forde argues Brendan Sorsby’s sports wagering fiasco exposes both personal and Texas Tech’s institutional accountability failures and presses the Big 12 to sanction the Red Raiders—potentially by counting or forfeiting games in which Sorsby plays—to protect the integrity of college football. He notes CFP intervention is inappropriate and argues the conference, under its bylaws, has the power to discipline members, pointing to Baylor’s past $2 million fine as a precedent. The piece highlights the political and legal hurdles for commissioner Brett Yormark but makes a clear call for decisive league action to stop the 'scam'.
