Oregon Game at Risk as Conference Eyes Texas Tech Ban
10 Jun
Summary
- Big Ten may mandate banning Texas Tech due to a gambling controversy.
- A star quarterback's gambling on games led to NCAA ineligibility.
- Oregon has a scheduled 2033 game against Texas Tech.
The Oregon Ducks' 2033 football game against Texas Tech is in jeopardy as Big Ten officials reportedly plan to discuss a league-wide ban on the Raiders. This potential mandate stems from a sports gambling controversy involving Texas Tech's star quarterback, Brendan Sorsby.
Sorsby, a five-star transfer, admitted to gambling on games, including those he participated in, violating NCAA rules. Initially deemed ineligible, he was granted an injunction, resulting in a two-game suspension for the 2026 season. A Texas court has scheduled a trial for Sorsby vs. the NCAA for February 2027, after the college football season concludes.
Oregon has a history with Texas Tech, having defeated them 23-0 in the College Football Playoff quarterfinal this past January. The Ducks have won all four previous matchups. Oregon's non-conference schedule extends to 2033, featuring opponents like Boise State and Oklahoma State in 2026.
