Texas Tech Says Brendan Sorsby's Week 3 Return Is a Stretch After 2-Game Ban

Summary
Week 3 remains unlikely for Brendan Sorsby, Texas Tech coach Joey McGuire said, stressing the quarterback is recovering from addiction even after becoming eligible to play this fall.
Monday's injunction barred the NCAA from enforcing its gambling-rule penalty beyond a two-game suspension, reopening Sorsby's path to play after the governing body had denied reinstatement and an appeal.
Kirby Hocutt defended Texas Tech's handling of the case, calling it a new and imperfect situation and saying the school would keep prioritizing the student while staying transparent.
The ruling has widened the dispute beyond Lubbock: the NCAA is expected to appeal, a process that could take up to a year, and some schools have threatened to boycott Texas Tech if Sorsby plays.
