Texas Tech's Joey McGuire Says Football Has Been Business as Usual Through Sorsby Gambling Saga
- On Tuesday at Big 12 media days in Frisco, Texas, Texas Tech coach Joey McGuire asserted that football operations remain "business as usual" despite the turmoil surrounding Brendan Sorsby's gambling saga.
- Sorsby checked into rehab after admitting to placing thousands of wagers on Indiana games, then abandoned legal efforts to regain eligibility after the NCAA suspended him for gambling.
- Defending the school's handling, McGuire stated, "Shared adversity brings you even closer," and credited Texas Tech's leadership for maintaining team focus during the difficult offseason.
- With Sorsby out, Will Hammond is now in line to start at quarterback for Texas Tech, with McGuire praising his "great confidence" as he recovers from an ACL injury.
- Sorsby, currently training in the Dallas area, plans to wait until next year to enter the NFL Draft rather than pursue further legal action against the NCAA.
