Big Ten discussing not playing Texas Tech due to Brendan Sorsby ruling

The Wisconsin Badgers could be part of a league-wide mandate to not play Texas Tech across all sports.

With the recent ruling of the Red Raiders‘ newest quarterback, Brendan Sorsby, the Big Ten is irate and plans on acting accordingly.

Now that his betting lawsuit has resulted in only a two-game suspension, ESPN’s Pete Thamel reports that the conference is laying the law down.

Nothing is official yet, but Thamel wrote, “Big Ten officials are expected to discuss in the upcoming days a league-wide mandate to not play Texas Tech in any sports, per three Big Ten sources. This is in the wake of Nebraska AD Troy Dannen informing his staff today that they aren’t allowed to schedule Texas Tech.”

Sorsby’s suspension has severe ramifications across the entire NCAA, and now that is something that could affect Wisconsin as well. It’s not a massive blow for the Big Ten, far from it, but it really puts things into perspective in the modern era of college athletics.
