Brendan Sorsby Fallout Continues, and a Sizing up of the Big 12
The Audible with Stew, Bruce & Ralph: A show about college footballShow Notes
The fallout from the Brendan Sorsby ruling continues to send shockwaves across college football. On this episode of The Audible, Stewart Mandel, Bruce Feldman, and Ralph Russo discuss the growing backlash to the Texas Tech quarterback's injunction, why Big 12 administrators are furious, and what it could mean for the future of NCAA eligibility, conference governance, and the College Football Playoff. Is this simply a Texas Tech issue, or a defining moment for college sports?
The crew dives into reporting from Big 12 athletic directors and administrators following the ruling, including questions about Texas Tech's relationship with the conference, potential responses from the Big 12, and whether Commissioner Brett Yormark faces the biggest challenge of his tenure.
Then it's time for Big 12 win totals. With Texas Tech viewed by many as the conference favorite, how much does the uncertainty surrounding Brendan Sorsby impact the Red Raiders' outlook? The guys debate whether Texas Tech can still win the Big 12, whether the controversy becomes a distraction, and if the program's loaded roster is enough to overcome the noise surrounding the quarterback situation.
Stew, Bruce and Ralph also make their favorite over/under picks across the conference. Which teams are being overlooked, which programs are primed to surprise, and who has the clearest path to Arlington and the Big 12 Championship Game?
Plus, listener mailbag questions spark discussions about the most valuable assets in college football, whether Ohio State's program model is the gold standard in the sport, and which historic rivalries deserve to be revived.
