    Big XII options for sanctioning Texas Tech

    That is fair. And there is an alternate timeline where this is all occurring at LSU, which would have been another wild element on top of a bonkers year for them.

    Big XII options for sanctioning Texas Tech

    If only there was some sort of legally binding document that allowed for provisions to be set between two parties about behavior and conduct. That sort of thing really could have helped in a situation like this.

    Big XII options for sanctioning Texas Tech

    We have seen gambling scandals in both the NBA and MLB in the last year. In those instances, players were suspended from future competition by the leagues. The players did not have any legal avenue to combat those suspensions because they are employees of the league who are bound to contractual...

    Big XII options for sanctioning Texas Tech

    Tech is guilty of either not having thorough enough due-diligence or willingly recruiting/paying a player who has bet on games where that player is a participant. That being said, neither Cincinnati nor Indiana should get a pass here either. Obviously the Big12 has no say with Indiana, but...

    Big XII options for sanctioning Texas Tech

    The other party(s) that needs to be heard from in all this is the media partners. Are Fox/ESPN willing to broadcast games where the validity of the outcome could be in question because Sorsby is on the field? Are they willing to allow the league to remove any inventory involving Tech? The TV...

    Big XII options for sanctioning Texas Tech

    I think most realistic is for Tech to forfeit any conference payouts for any games where Sorsby is rostered/dressed. That is max 10 games. And Tech might be fine with that, so long as the have sugar daddy Campbell. For the post-season, the CFP should just come out and say that they will not...

    Chicago Bears bought Arlington Heights track only to build in Indiana?

    Chicago Bears bought Arlington Heights track only to build in Indiana?

    Something else to consider: Arlington Heights site to Halas Hall (Forest Park, IL) is 20 miles, while Halas Hall to Hammond is 60 miles.

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    It is worth noting that the NCAA does not have any official ties to the CFP or the FBS national title. The only D1 NCAA championship in football is for the FCS.

    BREAKING: Matt Campbell, Penn State in final stages

    The off-season coach profile puff pieces aren't meant to be critical. It's PR parading as journalism. No one on the staff or team was going to say anything bad about the new coach, and even if they did, the author was never going to include those quotes.

    He added a sinker to his pitch mix, which he has thrown about 20% of the time so far this year. In '24 and '25 he was a 2 pitch guy with the 4-seamer and knuckle-curve. Having that 3rd reliable pitch makes him less predictable.
