Welcome to this week’s **HOF Top 12+ College Football Show**.
Jason Watkins argues that the Brendan Sorsby eligibility ruling is no longer just a Texas Tech problem. It is now a Big 12 problem — and commissioner Brett Yormark has a responsibility to protect the other 15 programs in the conference.
If Texas Tech chooses to play Brendan Sorsby after the court injunction against the NCAA, Jason believes the Big 12 should inform the school that it cannot represent the conference in the Big 12 Championship Game or the College Football Playoff.
This is not about denying addiction, mocking treatment or refusing someone a second chance in life. It is about whether college football still has a clear red line when it comes to gambling on games involving your own team.
Tonight’s show breaks down the Sorsby case, Texas Tech’s response, Cody Campbell, Kirby Hocutt, Joey McGuire, Lawrence Schovanec, the Texas Tech fan backlash and why Brett Yormark must act before the entire Big 12 championship race becomes a credibility crisis.
Plus, Jason recaps the HOF Top 12+ and First Four Out before welcoming Maize Mad Man of Maize Out Sports to discuss the Sorsby ruling and defend Michigan’s place just outside the Top 12.
