Georgia AD Josh Brooks not pleased with Brendan Sorsby ruling

A Lubbock, Texas, judge granted Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby his injunction against the NCAA, making him eligible to play in the 2026 season as of Monday.

Sorsby is in the hotseat after placing numerous bets on his own team while playing at Indiana, violating a longstanding NCAA policy and multiple state wagering laws.

The ruling by judge Ken Curry prevents the NCAA from enforcing its anti-gambling policy against Sorsby. Curry also added a two-game suspension for the quarterback as a condition of the injunction. Suspensions are not normally handed out by courts, but the NCAA itself or the offending conference or school.

Georgia athletic director Josh Brooks, as well as many other collegiate athletic directors and conference commissioners around the country, are not happy with this decision, calling its impact devastating for the integrity of American sports as they're known.

"I think there needs to be serious conversations about not playing Texas Tech in any sports," Brooks, who is a member of the NCAA Football Oversight Committee, told Yahoo Sports. "This is not about Texas Tech. It's about protecting our own locker room. We cannot in good conscience put our student-athletes on a field where the competitive integrity of the contest is compromised and overridden by the courts. If a state court wants to dictate eligibility rules, they can play themselves.

"All FBS schools should only take the field against programs operating under a uniform, trustworthy standard of fairness. We've officially reached the point of no return."

Others, however, are choosing to see this decision as a new way forward involving conference self-governing, where leagues can create and enforce their own rules outside of the NCAA's jurisdiction.

Georgia football is not scheduled to play Texas Tech in 2026.
