Texas Tech QB Brendan Sorsby was granted an injunction against the NCAA on Monday, ruling him eligible for the 2026 college football season. The Cincinnati transfer was granted the injunction in Lubbock County Court and will be suspended for the first two games of the season.
The decision drew immense backlash from around the sport. “Awful decision today for so many reasons,” a Power Four commissioner told On3's Pete Nakos. “The NCAA will appeal, but it will likely be too late.”
Several schools and conferences, including the Big 12 and Big Ten, are considering not playing Texas Tech in 2026-27 if Sorsby does play.
Andy Staples argues that this feels like a tipping point. Lots of NCAA rules are controversial. This one is not. It has a 100 percent approval rating outside Lubbock, Texas. If you can’t enforce this rule, you can’t reasonably expect to enforce any rules.
The question now is whether those who run the sport will finally give up on the pipe dream of getting bailed out by Congress and start doing the work required to actually fix the mess they’ve made. The next step should be obvious: It’s time to collectively bargain with the players.
