Cody Campbell, a prominent booster for the Texas Tech Red Raiders, has expressed concerns over potential actions by other college football conferences against Texas Tech following the reinstatement of quarterback Brendan Sorsby. Sorsby was previously deemed ineligible due to admitting to betting on games involving his own team, but a Texas judge's injunction has allowed him to play in the upcoming season. Reports indicate that the Big Ten Conference is considering a mandate to avoid scheduling Texas Tech, a move that Campbell argues could be seen as collusion and an antitrust violation. He stated that if the College Football Playoff were to exclude Texas Tech, the school would be prepared to take legal action. Campbell also noted that Sorsby's actions do not warrant such extreme measures, citing other players who have faced less severe consequences for more serious offenses. The situation remains fluid as discussions continue among various conferences regarding their stance on Texas Tech and Sorsby.
