3 articles · Updated · The New York Times · Jun 9

Summary

  • Wednesday’s Big Ten meeting will consider a conference-wide halt to scheduling Texas Tech across all sports, according to two conference sources.
  • Nebraska and Georgia already told coaches to stop arranging Texas Tech matchups immediately after a judge let quarterback Brendan Sorsby play despite admitted sports betting, including on his own team at Indiana in 2022.
  • The NCAA has appealed the injunction, while the Big 12’s executive board is also reviewing the ruling’s broader impact on college athletics.
  • Texas Tech has no 2026 football games set with Nebraska or Georgia, but future Power 4 series remain on the books with Arkansas in 2030, 2031 and 2034 and Oregon in 2033.
