AG Paxton Puts $200 Million Price Tag on Potential Big 12 Sanctions Against Texas Tech
· Texas Border Business
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton's office has issued a warning to the Big 12 Conference regarding potential sanctions against Texas Tech University. The letter states that punishing Texas Tech for adhering to a court order would violate federal and state laws, exposing the conference to antitrust liabilities. This follows a Texas court's injunction allowing player Brendan Sorsby to participate in the 2026 football season. The Attorney General emphasized that any sanctions could lead to damages exceeding $200 million, including lost revenues and legal fees. He asserted that no conference can penalize a member for following judicial rulings.
