## Resource

Texas Tech fans have every reason to be frustrated after quarterback Brendan Sorsby was ruled ineligible, but Garrett Searight explains why the NCAA ultimately made the correct decision. In this episode, Garrett breaks down the eligibility ruling, why the NCAA's interpretation of its rules is consistent with past decisions, and why making an exception in this case could have created even more problems moving forward. At the same time, he examines why the timing is so difficult for Texas Tech, a program that invested heavily in building momentum for 2026 and was counting on Sorsby to play a major role in those plans. What does the ruling mean for the Red Raiders' outlook this season? How much does it change expectations in Lubbock? And where does Texas Tech go from here after losing one of the most important pieces of its roster? Garrett discusses all of that and more in this episode.
