Cody Campbell Says Big 12 ADs Threaten Texas Tech Boycott Over 2-Game Brendan Sorsby Suspension

Summary
Cody Campbell said Big 12 athletic directors are talking about refusing to schedule Texas Tech after a judge let quarterback Brendan Sorsby play this season despite an NCAA ineligibility ruling.
Judge Ken Curry granted Sorsby an injunction after his lawsuit against the NCAA, finding irreparable harm and allowing him to return after sitting out the first two games.
The backlash centers on Sorsby admitting he placed multiple bets on his own team and other wagers, a decision that has drawn sharp criticism across the conference and college football.
Campbell argued rivals are using integrity concerns as cover because Sorsby is good and Texas Tech has become a competitive disruptor, saying the school will follow the court order.
He also said broader rules on athlete sports betting need congressional action, while the next step in the case could come from an appeals panel and possibly the Big 12.
