The sooner Texas Tech stops attempting to defend itself, the better.
By now, you probably know that Red Raiders quarterback Brendan Sorsby has been ruled eligible to play after the first two games of 2026 by a Texas judge even though he placed thousands of sports bets as a college athlete and even bet on his own team when he was a redshirt freshman at Indiana.
It's a decision that has angered coaches and administrators at universities across the country. Schools are threatening to not play Texas Tech in any sports. Tech's compatriots in the Big 12 are upset too.
But instead of simply letting emotions subside and quietly weathering the hyperbolic fire, Tech has decided its strategy is to publicly dig deeper. And deeper. And deeper.
Thursday morning, just as the World Cup was getting started, the school inexplicably released a 20-plus-minute video including school president Lawrence Schovanec, athletic director Kirby Hocutt and coach Joey McGuire talking about Sorsby and the the ruling.
