Texas Tech faces potential boycotts from non-conference opponents

Texas Tech is under pressure from several schools considering boycotts against the program following quarterback Brendan Sorsby’s NCAA eligibility ruling. Oregon State, Abilene Christian, and Sam Houston are set to receive significant payments for scheduled matchups in 2026, but cancellation could lead to substantial financial losses. The situation escalated with Texas Tech officials discussing possible legal actions against any boycott threats. Athletic director Kirby Hocutt indicated uncertainty about Sorsby’s future with the program, noting his return post-suspension is uncertain. Further discussions among Big 12 athletic directors are expected to address the implications.
