[Thamel] NEWS: Big Ten officials are expected to discuss in the upcoming days a league-wide mandate to not play Texas Tech in any sports, per three Big Ten sources. This is in the wake of Nebraska AD Troy Dannen informing his staff today that they aren't allowed to schedule Texas Tech.

Michael Jackson popcorn meme

this is actually fun to watch despite the overall ruling be disappointing

[u/gotintocollegeyolo → u/Francis_X_Hummel]

Actually this could be even more impactful than a ruling. Clearly the NCAA has no power anymore, but if schools show that they can still have power, there could maybe at least be some sort of check against shit like this happening more in the future

[u/mr_longfellow_deeds → u/[deleted]]

Tech is basically blocked from the playoffs short of winning the Big 12 anyway most years due to their schedule strength, and if they win the Big 12 they get an AQ regardless of their ranking

The bigger impact is on other sports (like basketball, softball, baseball) where OOC is more common, and also crucial for post-season chances

[u/emaw63 → u/Francis_X_Hummel]

If nothing else, CFB routinely produces incredibly entertaining politics in a way no other sport does lmao. Especially when the conference realignment carousel starts spinning

[u/jchall3 → u/emaw63]

Love Island could never produce such levels of pettiness and bullshit as the College Football offseason can do. Hell we probably only have a season just so we can have an offseason

[u/Virtual_Announcer → u/emaw63]

College football IS America. For better. For worse.

[u/jfkgoblue → u/emaw63]

It’s far more entertaining than the actual sport

[u/Solo_Wing__Pixy → u/jfkgoblue]

Reality tv for dudes and I’m all here for it

[u/DabDoge → u/Solo_Wing__Pixy]

[u/DillyDillySzn → u/[deleted]]

Wym NASCAR has been great this season

[u/Francis_X_Hummel → u/DillyDillySzn]

I have been enjoying it so far, well except for Kyle

[u/R_Raider86 → u/Francis_X_Hummel]

RIP Rowdy

[u/RWREmpireBuilder → u/DillyDillySzn]

Might be referring to the 23XI/FRM lawsuit.

[u/ad51603]

Texas Tech needs to just cut their losses man this isn't the hill to die on

[u/MinuteCountry061 → u/ad51603]

Yeah. This is just such an insane hill for them to die on. Out of everything they want to fall on their own sword over a player who bet on his own team’s games

[u/StreetReporter → u/MinuteCountry061]

The crazy part is that I don’t even think their backup is that bad

[u/OrangeTwelve → u/StreetReporter]

There’s no way any of this can make him feel good about being at TT.

[u/mr_longfellow_deeds → u/OrangeTwelve]

Get a QB portaled in over you, OK I guess coming off an injury.

Watching them burn the boats and prefer to be a pariah and get their entire AD blacklisted from OOC games rather than letting you play the season... Thats the ultimate vote of no confidence

[u/KennysWhiteSoxHat → u/[deleted]]

Damn yeah I feel bad for that kid I couldn’t imagine how I’d feel

[u/John_is_Minty → u/[deleted]]

I don’t even think Sorsby is that good it’s such a dumb hill for them to die on

[u/John_is_Minty → u/[deleted]]

Cody Campbell is such a dork. I couldn’t imagine having that much money and being that big of a dork

[u/MNightShyamalan69 → u/mr_longfellow_deeds]

The crazy thing is Sorsby isn’t even good. Guy can’t throw lol

[u/broccoli_d → u/MNightShyamalan69]

That’s what I remembered from Cincy vs Nebraska. He threw a game ending interception that was short, right?

[u/Ky-Ber30 → u/broccoli_d]

Yes. Also only threw for about 70 yards lol

[u/MidwestDrummer → u/Ky-Ber30]

Sorsby is one of just 8 Big 12 quarterbacks in the history of the conference to throw for fewer than 70 yards in a game in which he attempted at least 25 passes.

[u/dumbo1309 → u/[deleted]]

Sorsby is also just eh. He’s a serviceable D1 starter but he’s not a world-beater

[u/VAGentleman05 → u/dumbo1309]

That's what I don't understand in all of this. I could almost understand taking this kind of heat for the second coming of Joe Burrow, but Sorsby isn't that.

[u/tombrady011235 → u/MinuteCountry061]

Not just bet on his team, bet against his team. Which I think both are bad but betting against your team completely undermines the integrity

[u/Commisioner_Gordon → u/tombrady011235]

Both are bad but one is at least putting your money where your mouth is. The other is betraying your team and school. And given that CFB is run by money now, I can’t understand how a school wants to give a guy money who has shown he is willing to potentially throw games for personal gain

Crazy that even 10 years ago this isn’t even a conversation, just a death sentence

[u/tombrady011235 → u/Commisioner_Gordon]

Here’s the problem with that, betting is more than just moneyline, it includes prop bets. So he could bet the over on pass attempts, his own rush yards, etc., and it could tangibly affect the outcome of the game because he’s “putting his money where his mouth is”

[u/No_Bill7679 → u/MinuteCountry061]

And he’s not even good lol

[u/MinuteCountry061 → u/No_Bill7679]

Not nearly enough for this shit. 

[u/DisraeliEers → u/ad51603]

This has big "we wrote the checks and need to win now we don't care about the future so do this immediately" energy.

[u/ConsiderationCrazy22 → u/DisraeliEers]

Yep. This is all about Cody Campbell seeing a return on his investment. Texas Tech is probably afraid to piss him off.

[u/taintsgiving → u/ConsiderationCrazy22]

Cody is the chairman of board of trustees for the system so he’s in it for a bit more than an investment lol

[u/ConsiderationCrazy22 → u/taintsgiving]

Oooooh, I did not know that. Yeah he’s definitely running the show then. Yikes for TTU.

[u/Helicopsycheborealis → u/ConsiderationCrazy22]

Few things are worse than Texas oil tycoons. Even fewer things are worse than Texas oil tycoons involved in sports.

[u/tombrady011235 → u/DisraeliEers]

Yea but it may end up costing them much more significantly in the long run if they lose revenue from entire games being forfeited

[u/sloppyjo12 → u/tombrady011235]

Long run issues are the next guy’s problem, you don’t have to worry about those when your plan isn’t to be there for the aftermath anyway

[u/markusalkemus66 → u/sloppyjo12]

That's the biggest cause of why college football sucks now. A bunch of finance people got in charge of the conferences and universities, made decisions to maximize short term profit by sacrificing long term stability. And that all happened before private equity formally got involved. We're gonna watch the speedrunning of cratering this beautiful sport

[u/youregooninman → u/markusalkemus66]

I believe it’s already cooked as we knew it. I miss my trips to Pullman.

[u/Psychological-Dare79 → u/ad51603]

Dude only has Second All Big-12 in 2025. Get rid of him any maybe find a guy that gets 2 of those!

[u/tombrady011235 → u/ad51603]

Yea seriously. Sorsby isn’t a superstar. I feel like their egos got bigger than their rationality

[u/StandardRemarkable23 → u/ad51603]

That’s what I’ve been wondering. They act like Sorsby is Joe Burrow and their season depends on him.

[u/Det_Allen_gamble]

Can’t have bad losses if you play zero games! This plays into sorsby’s hands!

[u/DCAbloob → u/Det_Allen_gamble]

That's great until RPIs and NET rankings start sinking under the weight of having to play too many subpar teams.

[u/smurf-vett → u/[deleted]]

CUSA will still cash their checks

[u/JumpyAct4865]

WAIT, what if Sorsby all along had a Kalshi bet for TT being blacklisted from NCAA sports and this is just the super long game?

[u/toomanyshoeshelp → u/[deleted]]

+195859031858918 odds

He buys every university outright and fires all the ADs

5D chess

[u/tombrady011235 → u/JumpyAct4865]

The fact that this is even remotely believably is why he can’t play. Every sack, every interception, every negative play will be questioned

[u/REbubbleiswrong → u/tombrady011235]

Every positive play also, let's be honest...over/unders matter.

[u/kmagic13]

Why is Texas Tech doing everything they can to pissed off cfb fans and other schools? Their backup can’t be that bad right?

[u/Duck_Caught_Upstream → u/kmagic13]

Sorsby isn’t even that good

[u/omahusker → u/Duck_Caught_Upstream]

After holding him to like 70 passing yards with …. Nebraska’s 2025 defense, he is highkey not good.

[u/Hefty-Diet-80 → u/omahusker]

My guess is Sorsby bet the under against Nebraska

[u/SPCsooprlolz]

How is Sorsby worth nuking the entire athletic department? Is it just cause they spent so much on him? Is this Campbell and others refusing to back down?

[u/ramblin_gamblin → u/SPCsooprlolz]

Cody Campbell's pride probably

[u/NumNumLobster → u/SPCsooprlolz]

I wonder what they even spent? Is this a cash up front thing? Surely there is some out for not having to pay a suspended player

[u/Whiterabbit-- → u/NumNumLobster]

I think it’s just ego. They want a good season this year. They have money to burn but no qb.

[u/allisthepriceofall]

why what happened

[u/CPTBenjaminWillard → u/allisthepriceofall]

Someone lost a bet

[u/pumpkinspruce → u/CPTBenjaminWillard]

Sponsored by DraftKings.

[u/JohnWickStuntDouble → u/CPTBenjaminWillard]

Holy shit. Hall of fame right here.

[u/IATMB → u/allisthepriceofall]

TTU wants to start a QB who was previously caught betting on his own games. NCAA tried to ban him but some judge just said he can play. So now other schools are trying to punish TTU

[u/Gcoks → u/IATMB]

Thanks for actually responding.

[u/im_not_your_bro_bro → u/allisthepriceofall]

All started when this kid fell into Harambe’s enclosure

[u/AdParticular6654 → u/im_not_your_bro_bro]

Wait a fucking minute. The cinci connection. If Harambe was around, he absolutely would not have bet. He would have been too busy visiting the zoo.

[u/Francis_X_Hummel → u/AdParticular6654]

it is kind of Bizarre that he was at UC and was betting on Reds games when Pete was the "face" of pro sports gambling debates forever

[u/AccomplishedIron816 → u/im_not_your_bro_bro]

All jokes aside life has sucked since then

[u/GoDiegoGo7969 → u/im_not_your_bro_bro]

My d*ck is still out for Harambe

[u/TLRPM → u/GoDiegoGo7969]

Never thought I’d join in solidarity with a horn. Dicks out, always and forever.

RIP, my beautiful King 🦍

[u/Herewego27 → u/allisthepriceofall]

We had a funeral for a bird. It was a whole big thing.

[u/Blue_Yoshi711 → u/[deleted]]

YOU’RE NOT REAL MAN

[u/LoquaciousTheBorg → u/allisthepriceofall]

Texas Tech, the financier?

[u/HailState2023 → u/allisthepriceofall]

There was a Turntle. Then it was good for a single year…until the injury. Piano Fingerbanger moved to Bolivia (we think). And then, no joke, a solo cup of poop that had to be eaten but never was….it just really collapsed fast.

[u/Competitive-Rise-789 → u/allisthepriceofall]

Tech didn’t score in a playoff game

[u/OrangeTwelve]

Hopefully this forces some internal tension at Texas Tech. The other athletes should be absolutely fucking PISSED about facing consequences simply because the football team is supporting a massive liability to the integrity of college sports.

[u/Inconceivable76 → u/OrangeTwelve]

This would be huge for basketball.

[u/Lqtor → u/Inconceivable76]

They’re in the players era tournament too which has no obligation to keep them in

[u/JustAManAndHisLaptop → u/OrangeTwelve]

Reminder Cody Campbell effectively purchased the entire university and is the president of the board of trustees.

[u/Muh_Nado]

Imagine being Will Hammond and seeing your team risk everything just so they don't have to start you.

[u/bbshock21 → u/Muh_Nado]

I'm gonna bet he'll start at some point this season.

Sorsby made that bet too

[u/jdprager]

Idk if anyone's been scheduled yet for next year, but Texas Tech basketball had two marquee non-con games against #14 Illinois and #1 Purdue last year. So this isn't nothing

[u/ContinuumGuy → u/jdprager]

Texas Tech softball finished second the last two Women's College World Series.

[u/aaronman4772 → u/jdprager]

Texas Tech basketball next year is also slated to take place in the Players Era tournament. They open with Louisville and could easily draw teams like Oregon, Maryland, Tennessee, Bama, Michigan, etc.

Imagine if they kick them out of that tournament. That’s at bare minimum one and as many as four major OOC games. Plus the tournament is directly made to have prize payout as NIL. Thats directly costing Tech players potential money

[u/jdprager → u/aaronman4772]

That's also the tournament that is built around getting the players involved NIL money while they're in Vegas. It'll be a hell of a thing to see if the Sorsby situation directly costs every member of the basketball team a very tangible pile of money

[u/aaronman4772 → u/jdprager]

Yep. This could very well lead to internal revolts from other teams if this directly leads to unaffected problems being punished

[u/2CHINZZZ → u/jdprager]

Think about how many university-endorsed bets on their own team they could make at the sportsbooks though

[u/CommodoreIrish → u/jdprager]

I feel bad for the athletes getting screwed by one guy and an errant athletic department.

[u/emaw63 → u/CommodoreIrish]

They're also free to apply pressure on Tech's AD and HC to cut the guy.

The sport is at a breaking point right now. Fair or not, parties who bear no responsibility for this mess are going to have to nut up and make a sacrifice to push back, or it's gonna get exponentially worse.

[u/jdprager → u/emaw63]

Yup. The football team especially is arguably incentivized to do this. "We refuse to play with a dude who has a track record of financial investment in his own team's failure" is an incredibly reasonable stance

[u/discofrislanders → u/jdprager]

Like, how could you trust Sorsby if he was your teammate

[u/StreetReporter → u/discofrislanders]

How can you trust him if you’re his coach? I get the head coach is a puppet for Campbell, but surely some of the assistants are questioning this

[u/Foucaultshadow1 → u/discofrislanders]

Which is why none of this makes sense to me. This guy has to be hated by the entire locker room.

[u/TangerineChicken → u/emaw63]

I’ll take it if this ends up forcing them to cut him but I’m still gonna be fucking pissed that we got forced into it. I think the most likely outcome is that they dig their heels in, which pisses me off

[u/Francis_X_Hummel → u/CommodoreIrish]

it is crazy that are willing to risk this for all sports, just for this one QB. They would probably able to still have a respectable season with the next man up.

[u/joshfry575 → u/Francis_X_Hummel]

At this point, the backup QB is probably better because he doesn’t have these off-field issues and mental barriers in the way. I’d be shocked if a college kid handles the amount of pressure that is going to continue to build on him. I imagine even Texas Tech fans will start turning once all the other sports and scheduling gets affected.

[u/Bluegrass6 → u/CommodoreIrish]

That's the end game for this whole conference realignment saga we're living through.....everyone chasing the big football $$$ is going to ruin it all for the other sports, mainly the revenue losing sports

[u/MIAdolphins96 → u/jdprager]

2nd leg of a home and home is scheduled for this year, was announced on Saturday what day the game would take place. Could change after all of this.

https://fightingillini.com/news/2025/6/6/mens-basketball-illinois-to-host-texas-tech-on-nov-11

Additionally, TT supposed to be part of the players era tournament in Vegas where it’s all about NIL prize money directly to players. The sponsor should kick them out, directly effect the players pockets, then maybe the TT athletes might speak out against Sorsby.

[u/jdprager → u/MIAdolphins96]

Yup, they're already set in a bracket with Oregon, Maryland, and Michigan. If the Big Ten goes through with this, I'd honestly be a bit surprised if the tournament doesn't try to swap them out

[u/CommodoreIrish]

Good. Force USC to play us instead.

[u/Routine-Height-7103 → u/CommodoreIrish]

This! Im not an ND fan or a USC fan... but USC v ND is just about the only game not involving my team ill watch from start to finish. CFB is better when this game is played

[u/CommodoreIrish → u/Routine-Height-7103]

The Football gods are clearly moving the pieces to force the two programs to kiss and make up.

[u/Inconceivable76 → u/CommodoreIrish]

Clearly Catholic.

[u/frick_this_fricking → u/CommodoreIrish]

How dare you try to rid the sport of the historical Texas Tech-USC Rivalry that has given us so many memorable moments?

[u/the_urban_juror → u/CommodoreIrish]

The real Save College Sports Act was in Sorsby's Fanduel account all along.

[u/pinniped90]

Why the fuck is Texas Tech going to bat for this guy?

[u/PhoenixPirate]

I read this as other schools and conferences trying to put the screws to Tech to just drop Sorsby all-together since the NCAA is flat out toothless in all of this.
We’ll see what comes of this, but it’s hilarious to watch Tech instantly set aflame any and all progress they’ve made in the last several years to position themselves to try and make it into the super conferences when they happen.

[u/conchobor → u/PhoenixPirate]

I mean that's exactly what this is. When the other conferences follow suit, which they will, then Tech is going to be out of options. And that's not even considering what the Big 12 may do - you can't have a member school that everyone else in the country is publicly boycotting.

It seems that everyone but Tech realizes that they can either do this the easy way or the hard way.

[u/PhoenixPirate → u/conchobor]

It’s made even more complicated when you have Cody Campbell just wildly tweeting at random people calling him out and threatening to sue etc.

The inmates are in control of the asylum… and it’s going exactly how many of us knew it would.

[u/_Football_Cream_ → u/PhoenixPirate]

All the while this dude is lobbying the federal government about “saving college sports.”

You immediately lose any and all goodwill from me when you are trying to undermine one of the longest standing hard lines that exists in ALL sports. Saving college sports my ass. What a hack.

[u/Inconceivable76 → u/conchobor]

OSU and wsu, you are b12 now.

[u/tigers113 → u/PhoenixPirate]

I have an idea. Instead of the SEC/Big10 breaking away and forming a super conference.

Lets have all NCAA schools breakaway into a new entity called NCAA v2 except TT isn't invited.

[u/screamline82 → u/tigers113]

NCAA 2: electric boogaloo

[u/Antyok → u/PhoenixPirate]

What if… ok, this is crazy, but hear me out. What if the conferences banded together to make some sort of… Association of Collegiate Athletes. Like at the National level.

They could decide things like if it’s only a sin if Missouri does it, and you can’t play college ball if you only played like… half a season in the NBA, and if Alabama *really* wants you to stuff like that.

We could call it ACAN… or something like that.

[u/jakedasnake1]

I’m feeling like texas tech probably is going to get bullied into doing the right thing in the end.

[u/mr_longfellow_deeds → u/jakedasnake1]

With the way Cody Campbell is behaving on social media and in interviews, I doubt that. Dude's pride is hurt bad

[u/jakedasnake1 → u/mr_longfellow_deeds]

I mean it is looking like the big 12 members are meeting tomorrow and my guess is they are going to try to do the same thing. This dude may not have a choice

[u/jamnewton22 → u/jakedasnake1]

Was this scheduled before today? Emergency meeting or something? This is great news

[u/fm22fnam → u/jamnewton22]

It was announced after the court decision. The Big 12 didn't exactly seem pleased with the decision in their statement

[u/kae158 → u/jakedasnake1]

It’d be a shame if he bought that judge and had nothing to show for it.

[u/Joelsaurus → u/jakedasnake1]

It's happening. The commissioner confirmed it. No Red Raiders allowed.

[u/gottahavemyPOPPs1 → u/mr_longfellow_deeds]

Nothing better than a butthirt billionaire who finally can’t win at everything due to money and influence

[u/wildewon]

The SEC and ACC need to follow suit

[u/beckett929 → u/wildewon]

I've seen that UGA has individually already

[u/Flyingaround806 → u/beckett929]

They are always in the fast lane

[u/lowtidesoup → u/wildewon]

So does the Big 12

[u/ExpressFan7426]

terrible time to be a tech fan. Can we just get rid of Sorsby already

[u/screamline82 → u/ExpressFan7426]

Do you have any pulse on if/how many tech fans calling the presidents/ADs office to complain/cancel season tickets?I'd imagine pressure from both sides would be more effective

[u/ExpressFan7426 → u/screamline82]

I think it would be pretty effective ngl, it’s a good idea.

[u/MNightShyamalan69 → u/ExpressFan7426]

Why is your school willing to die over a mid QB? I’m just perplexed

[u/ExpressFan7426 → u/MNightShyamalan69]

I’m wondering the same thing 😭

[u/Psychological-Dare79]

Michigan AD: Now is a great time to announce the return of Connor Stallion to our program.

[u/BOFA2107 → u/Psychological-Dare79]

Someone hasn't read the Manifesto. Things are going exactly to plan

[u/Inconceivable76 → u/BOFA2107]

Connor stallion actually befriended sorsby while he was at IU to get inside information.

[u/CUBuffs1992]

Imagine dying on a hill for Sorsby.

[u/NolaTree]

I haven’t seen America this united since 9/11.

[u/the_deadly_hive]

Being a Texas Tech fan hurts.

Played the underdog for decades. Finally get to big games across multiple sports in the last decade, yet fall short every time. Spend big money to make it to the biggest stages, just to lose in embarrassing fashion. Now Tech Administration is choosing to die on the worst of hills for the worst of sport sins.

What a freaking timeline we live in.

[u/SaxMachine25 → u/the_deadly_hive]

It's pretty fitting tbh.

Great year in 2008. Then Kent Hance and CJK5H '09.

Great year in '25. What ever the fuck this is in '26.

[u/epistaxis64 → u/SaxMachine25]

Ahh CJK5H. May that meme live forever on

[u/zenverak → u/the_deadly_hive]

I feel bad for most fans. They just want to have fun.

[u/RobbyBurgers]

The crazy thing is Texas Tech can literally do nothing to save their face lol.

Cut him. He sues the school.

[u/North-Ad-7143 → u/RobbyBurgers]

Sue for what? Players are cut from teams all the time for misconduct. This feels pretty like a no brainer.

[u/Cliffinati → u/North-Ad-7143]

Except Texas Tech has been supporting him.

Then the school looks 2 faced

[u/_Football_Cream_ → u/RobbyBurgers]

Texas Tech could invoke sovereign immunity in a breach of contract dispute with Sorsby.

You know, the exact fucking thing they did with Mike Leach.

[u/DrVenusAg]

My god we’re fucked. Thanks a fucking lot Kirby Hocutt holy shit

Edit: Forgot his last name

[u/R_Raider86 → u/DrVenusAg]

Its his bosses that are causing the damage

[u/pyrogeddon → u/DrVenusAg]

I thought you meant Kirby Smart at first, I forgot Hocutt was also a Kirby

[u/vicuvious7174 → u/DrVenusAg]

I know you know this im talking in general, but this all goes away when and if TT does the right thing and folds here. This wont be a thing officially until he steps on a football field in uniform

[u/SimilarOnion1655 → u/DrVenusAg]

Basketball is cooked. They will have no non conference good wins

[u/jamnewton22 → u/DrVenusAg]

More is coming. Just wait until tomorrow. I could see most schools doing the same until tech budges

[u/CrashB111 → u/jamnewton22]

The unofficial death penalty will continue, until the situation improves.

[u/OkAnxiety3695]

I’ve never seen a school so determined to self immolate 

[u/Angry_Walnut]

I don’t blame them, this is so fucking ridiculous of us.

[u/Champion10101]

This time Oregon will score 0 points vs us

[u/cm167 → u/[deleted]]

One nil to the raiders as they say in England

[u/Both_Strength_6782 → u/Champion10101]

Wait a minute, you’re not in the SEC! You don’t get hypothetical victories!

[u/Ballsache_]

Hope Oregon drops the 2033 game and schedules OSU instead 🦫

[u/Groots-Cousin]

Welcome to the Sun Belt, Texas Tech!

[u/Jyingling21 → u/Groots-Cousin]

Hell no we don’t want them

[u/Apart_Selection7722 → u/Jyingling21]

Same here

[u/JohnWickStuntDouble]

McGuire and Oilhead McFuckFace went from “you’re too scared to schedule us” to every team in the nation telling them to pound sand. Vindication.

[u/Duck_Caught_Upstream → u/JohnWickStuntDouble]

Me 1 week ago: haha Texas called at TTU and then got their bluff called

Me today: Should Texas ever play TTU in any competition again I won’t be satisfied until it’s 70-0 Horns *provided the game is legitimate*

[u/HappyT3rm1nat0r → u/JohnWickStuntDouble]

How the turn tables lmao

[u/decoy777]

He's out there making bets on if he'll get to play or not this year.

[u/Rolltide_and_anime]

Texas Tech gonna have the easiest schedule ever lol

[u/SparkMaster360]

Creative way to apply soft pressure. I doubt they’ll back out of a CFP game against TT, but blackballing tech in every other sport is a real threat

[u/DataDrivenPirate → u/SparkMaster360]

If y'all think strength of schedule is a big factor in football, just wait until you learn about baseball and softball. SEC and B1G refusing to play Texas Tech would nuke those programs.

[u/mr_longfellow_deeds → u/DataDrivenPirate]

Same with basketball..

[u/dawgfan19881 → u/SparkMaster360]

If the big ten and sec both go all in on this there is no universe where Tech is in the CFP.

[u/MinuteCountry061 → u/dawgfan19881]

I don’t think there is a reality where TT plays in the CFB playoffs anyways this year if they do play Sorsby. The CFP is a different entity to the NCAA so they could easily ban TT this year if Sorsby plays

[u/StreetReporter → u/dawgfan19881]

The Big 12 could institute a postseason ban, completely separate from the NCAA

[u/tombrady011235 → u/SparkMaster360]

It’s a huge assumption right now that TT makes the CFP

[u/Monkey1Fball]

Penn State's 31-year-long winning streak in our epic rivalry against Texas Tech will continue on!

[u/udubdavid]

Ffs Texas Tech, just do the right thing and not play him. It's not worth it.

[u/GoBigRx]

Gambling needs to be cut out of college athletics all together

[u/Schmenza]

What if the only conference realignment we get this year is Texas Tech getting kicked out of the Big 12

[u/KingKongMF69]

Tech is so desperate to be relevant that denying them a seat at the table could be effective.

[u/loverofcfb08 → u/KingKongMF69]

I hate how I now agree with the texas flairs over this topic

We should schedule Oregon State and Washington State instead.

Some good folks out there and I still feel like we owe them for shafting them so hard.

SEC will do the same I bet. Sark gets the last laugh after all

Texas Tech is speed running this whole most hated team in college sports thing

[u/mr_longfellow_deeds]

Does this mean our schools should start preparing for Cody "Injunctions" Campbell to sue us?

Hypothetically let’s say every conference (sans Big 12 I guess) follows suit but Texas Tech doesn’t back down and has a good season. Do they get selected to the playoff? Do schools still refuse to play postseason games against them? Forfeit playoff games? What winds up actually happening here

[u/Michiganman1225 → u/PhantomJB93]

There's an article on this sub stating the other B12 schools are considering not playing them as well.

So is he at risk of throwing games or no?

Wouldn’t you want to play a guy trying to lose?
