The 1st Quarter with Heather and Alec Busse 6-16-26 Hr 3

So Brendan Sorsby, last night, Pete Thamel broke the news that he has announced plans to declare for the NFL supplemental draft.

It wasn't immediately clear at the time because there were people responding to this saying, well, technically he can't enter the supplemental draft.

He is still eligible to play NCAA football.

Well, he ended up dropping his lawsuit, which then means that he is no longer trying to sue the NCAA team.

to retain his eligibility.

The NCAA has already ruled him ineligible.

So yeah, Brandon Sorsby is now no longer eligible as deemed by the NCAA to play football.

And he is going to the NFL supplemental draft.

And this ends.

Mercifully, his college career and our national nightmare of watching Texas Tech and their fan base try to twist themselves into pretzels to say this is all good.

And we're doing it for Brendan Sorsby and in his best interest.

He needs this for his mental health.

Only to have Brendan Sorsby himself finally tap out after assessing the entire situation and the blowback and think, you know what, this probably isn't worth it.

I have yet, and I don't know if you were able to do this research.

Texas Tech has said that they are not going to attempt to claw back any money that they have already paid him.

And I wasn't entirely clear if they have given him the entire amount of money that they owed him in NIL or if this was in payments.

Because whatever it is, they're not going to try to get back anything they paid him, but they are not obligated to pay him anymore.

Yeah, I can't imagine that they had given him the full money that that they had agreed to by this point.

Usually those guys are paid in monthly installments just like we would be.

So, no, they're not going to try and get any of the money back, which is probably the right thing to do.

Because I think all parties involved in this now just want to move on and move forward.

And I think that Sorsby is most certainly doing that by declaring for the supplemental draft.

Texas Tech by saying, hey, we're not going to try and take any of the money back because you're not going to play a snap for us.

I think that's them trying to move forward.

And the Big 12, they're not going to levy any punishments against Texas Tech in all likelihood.
