About this episode

Garrett Searight discusses the implications of Brendan Sorsby's eligibility ruling and the calls for schools to boycott Texas Tech.

The college football world is buzzing after Brendan Sorsby was ruled eligible, and now some fans and observers are calling for schools to boycott Texas Tech. But does any of this actually matter? In this episode, Garrett Searight explains why Texas Tech shouldn't be concerned about the supposed backlash. Many of the schools being mentioned as potential boycotters weren't likely to schedule the Red Raiders in the first place, making much of the outrage more symbolic than impactful. Garrett breaks down the reaction to the ruling, why the boycott talk has gained traction, and whether there are any real consequences for Texas Tech moving forward. Plus, he examines what the Sorsby decision means for college football's future and the growing tension between schools, conferences, courts, and the NCAA.
