Big Ten to discuss league-wide ban on scheduling Texas Tech in all sports
Big Ten athletic directors and commissioner Tony Petitti are planning to discuss a league-wide ban on scheduling Texas Tech in all sports at a meeting on Wednesday, two Big Ten sources told The Athletic.
The news comes in the wake of Red Raiders quarterback Brendan Sorsby receiving a temporary injunction to play college football in the fall despite his admission of sports betting, including on a team for which he played.
Talk of those discussions comes hours after a note sent to Nebraska coaches and obtained by The Athletic that deputy athletic director Haven Fields instructed that Nebraska “will not schedule any contests vs. Texas Tech in any sport. If you currently have a future contest already scheduled, please connect with (athletic director) Troy (Dannen) immediately.”
There are no football games scheduled between Nebraska and Texas Tech for 2026.
Over in the SEC, the athletics department for Georgia banned its teams from scheduling any future games against Texas Tech, and Georgia said it would “determine next steps” on any matchups already scheduled.
Georgia compliance director Will Lawler sent a memo to coaches and staff Monday afternoon, hours after Sorsby was awarded a temporary injunction by a Texas judge to play this season despite Sorsby’s history with gambling, including betting on his own team in 2022 when he was a member of the Indiana Hoosiers. The NCAA has filed a notice of appeal in the case.
“Based on recent developments, Georgia Athletics will not schedule future contests against Texas Tech until further notice,” Lawler wrote. “Please review your sport’s current schedules and future scheduling plans. If you have any contests currently scheduled against Texas Tech, or are actively engaged in scheduling discussions with Texas Tech, please notify your sports administrator as soon as possible so we can evaluate the situation and determine next steps.”
The note concluded by saying that the decision was “effective immediately,” and reiterated that no games against Texas Tech could be scheduled without “prior approval from the athletic department.”
There are no football games scheduled between Georgia and Texas Tech. It was not immediately clear if any other sports had scheduled games. The other two fall sports that have announced their schedules, volleyball and women’s soccer, do not have Texas Tech on the schedule.
Georgia officials declined comment. The memo was obtained from a source at the school.

Nebraska lands commitment from three-star tight end Joey Hunter
Nebraska Football picked up a commitment from a class of 2027 prospect. Three-star tight end Joey Hunter made the announcement on Sunday afternoon.
Hunter hails from Grayson High School. North Carolina State and Georgia Tech also recruited the playmaker. He measures in at six-foot-six, 255 pounds.
As Rivals.com’s Tim Verghese notes, Hunter was a large part of the offensive line at the high school level last season, due to his frame. He recorded six receptions for 86 yards and two touchdowns in five games.
This marks another commitment for a Nebraska football program that has seen four commitments on the weekend overall. The class itself ranks 19th17th overall in the country, according to the Rivals Industry Rankings.
This is another strong commitment for a 2027 class that is really taking shape. It will be interesting to see how many more the program takes in this class overall.
