Actually, the NCAA can very easily prevent Brendan Sorsby from playing lol All it takes is one statement that reads “if Brendan Sorsby so much as plays a single down for Texas Tech, not only does Texas Tech forfeit every game of that season but their entire athletics program is permanently barred from competing for NCAA Championships in any sport.” They could put that out there with about two minutes of work, and then enforce it by simply never allowing Texas Tech to be selected for the CFP or NCAA Tournament in any sport ever again. Beyond a bunch of oil barons and the few thousand people who rely on their money in West Texas needing to find a new hobby, there’s absolutely zero downside to this. Sometimes, there just needs to be a sacrificial lamb. It’s called a deterrent. And when someone disrupts the natural flow of society badly enough, you need to hold a public execution to remind the masses that the very idea of law and order still exists. College sports will survive just fine without the presence of a historically irrelevant athletics program that’s third fiddle in its own state.
