## Resource

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.splitzoneduo.com Brendan Sorsby has his temporary injunction, and the field is open for Texas Tech’s QB to play in 2026. Yes, Alex is as shocked as you are. What now, though? To answer that question and a few more, let’s welcome Sam Ehrlich, an assistant professor of legal studies at Boise State and operator of the College Sports Litigation Tracker . In this episode: * 0:17: Alex’s monologue on why Sorsby’s triumph is so absurd, even for people used to watching the NCAA lose in court, like all of us. * 8:14: Welcoming Sam Ehrlich, asking what he thinks of the ruling, and why the judge’s order left so much unsaid. * 11:57: What the NCAA’s appeal changes, and why the clock may now work in Sorsby’s favor instead of against him. * 14:59: Whether one Texas injunction really changes the NCAA’s ability to enforce gambling rules elsewhere. (Be careful about this one.) * 18:23: Why collectively bargained rules or a federal college sports bill would probably have prevented this situation. * 23:43: Venue shopping, “home cooking” complaints, broader sports-integrity fallout, and what angry Big 12 schools can actually do about it. Producer: Anthony Vito
