Texas Tech warns Big 12 sanctions could spark massive liability fight

The Big 12 is considering its next move after receiving a warning from the Texas Attorney General’s Office that any attempt to punish Texas Tech over quarterback Brendan Sorsby could lead to significant legal consequences. A June 11 letter sent to Commissioner Brett Yormark and board chairman Douglas A. Girod argues that sanctioning Texas Tech for complying with a court order would violate the law and expose the conference and its members to major financial risk.
