Big Ten won’t prohibit members from scheduling Texas Tech amid Brendan Sorsby gambling fallout

The Big Ten is expected to let its schools make decisions about scheduling Texas Tech on their own.

Big 10 got their virtue signaling in so no need to actually do anything.

This is just a public statement so that Tech can't sue them with the "collusion" argument

Thinking back to how Fyre Fest ended with Ja Rule yelling “At least no one died!” on a conference call. Tech giving off similar energy.

This post makes me miss the early days of Mad TV that would go wild with this.

At minimum the Big 12 needs to move its headquarters out of Texas.

Says one of the gullible that believe that with the way things stand right now TT wouldn't play him.

Yeah the Big 12 could put pressure on TT, but the fact is the Big 12 shouldn't have to put pressure on TT. Once the NCAA ruled he was ineligible because of gambling TT should have parted with him then, but no they doubled down and took it to court. TT right now is everything that is wrong with college sports and they keep doubling down on that because they have to win at all costs.

They may try to win "at all costs" but they don't have to. Also, define "win". Tech is almost to the point of not winning here, no matter if they win in court or not. The only way for them to win is to back down. It's probably not too late for that but they should have done so right after the NCAA ruling.

I don't have faith that the powers to be at Tech will do the right thing.

Heck, if Tech was lucky enough to win the national championship this season, it would be with a QB that was ruled ineligible by the NCAA. It would such a hollow championship that the entire country would consider it a joke.

That's why I've said Tech is so obsessed with winning this battle that they've assured they will lose the war. Talk about being short sighted...

Would this analogy mean this is Joey McGuire?

Salt Lake City, Utah!

And then find something minor wrong with the venue and promptly move it to Provo

When I say win I mean winning games. Tech wants so bad to feel like they are a sports power rather than just a west Texas bastard school so they will do whatever it takes to win games.

They are flat out telling us they won’t. And if people try to make them do the right thing they are going to lawyer up.

Good for the Oklahoma AG

Sorry I missed your meaning, and I agree with you. As Gentner Drummond, Oklahoma AG, wrote in a recent letter to the Big 12, "Its (Tech's) leadership has prioritized winning over sport, over honor, and over integrity." Well stated!

For the record, OU prioritized TV dollars over winning, sport, honor, and integrity

Conduct detrimental to the league. There has to be a clause in there somewhere, right?

Edit: maybe this,

A Member (a “Withdrawing Member”) may Withdraw, or shall be deemed to have Withdrawn, as a Member of the Conference: (ii) if a Supermajority of Disinterested Directors by affirmative vote determines that such Member: (D) otherwise takes or fails to take actions that are determined by a Supermajority of Disinterested Directors to be contrary to the best interests of the Conference taken as a whole.

It looks like a the Oklahoma AG agrees with me.
