Summary
Wednesday’s Big Ten meeting will include talks on a conference-wide halt to scheduling Texas Tech in any sport, according to two league sources cited by The Athletic.
The push follows Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby winning a temporary injunction to play this fall despite admitting to sports betting, including on a team he played for in 2022 at Indiana.
Nebraska already told coaches it will not schedule any contests against Texas Tech and to flag any existing future matchups, though no 2026 football game is on the books.
Georgia issued a similar immediate ban on future games with Texas Tech and said it would review any existing matchups, while the NCAA has filed notice of appeal in Sorsby’s case.
