AG Paxton Puts $200 Million Price Tag on Potential Big 12 Sanctions Against Texas Tech
· Texas Border Business
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has warned the Big 12 Conference against sanctioning Texas Tech University for complying with a court order. In a letter, Paxton's office stated that such sanctions would violate federal and state laws, potentially exposing the conference to antitrust liability. This follows a temporary injunction from a Texas court allowing Texas Tech to support student-athlete Brendan Sorsby during the 2026 football season. Paxton emphasized that any punitive actions could lead to damages exceeding $200 million due to lost revenues and other financial impacts on Texas Tech.
