Colorado's athletic director, Fernando Lovo, condemned the ruling that would allow Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby to play this season in a statement issued Monday night.
Lovo, who was hired by Colorado last winter, called the injunction a "clear affront to the competitive principles" of college sports and said the school would be working with the Big 12 Conference and its fellow Big 12 peers on the issue. The Buffs are set to host the Red Raiders on Oct. 3 at Folsom Field for Colorado's homecoming game.
Lovo did not mention the game's future in his statement. A report by Yahoo Sports' Ross Dellenger states that Big 12 athletic directors were considering not playing Texas Tech in any sport.
"The injunction issued today regarding Brendan Sorsby is doubling as his admitted actions are a clear violation of long-held standards of integrity in college athletics," Lovo said in his statement.
Sorsby admitted to gambling on his own team during his time at Indiana, but was made eligible by a ruling by Lubbock County Judge Ken Curry, who granted the quarterback an injunction against the NCAA. Sorsby played at Cincinnati last year and was one of Texas Tech's most significant additions in the transfer portal this offseason.
