BIG 12 SQUAD - Brendan Sorsby may PLAY in 2026 | How this impacts Arizona

About this episode

The episode discusses Brendan Sorsby's NCAA eligibility issues and their implications for Texas Tech and the Big 12.

Texas Tech’s postseason dreams hang in the balance as Brendan Sorsby’s NCAA eligibility battles mental health claims and strict gambling rules. Are the Red Raiders’ hopes tied to this high-stakes legal fight? The panel unpacks Sorsby’s unprecedented injunction, the Big 12’s reputation, and the lingering shadow of betting controversies on college football. Key questions arise: Can Sorsby’s “fitting in” defense sway the NCAA, or does it set a precarious precedent for mental health in sports? Elsewhere in the Big 12, coaching headlines buzz with Kyle Whittingham’s Utah succession plan, Kalani Sitake’s near-move to Penn State, and the ongoing arms race in NIL and salaries. On the diamond, Oklahoma State and West Virginia chase baseball and softball glory, while program-building and postseason snubs stoke debate. Is the Big 12 undervalued in baseball, and what will it take for Baylor or West Virginia to break through? The squad tackles all the hot topics you can’t afford to miss.
