The college sports world was sent into an upheaval this week with the recent development in the gambling case surrounding Texas Tech Red Raiders quarterback Brendan Sorsby.

Sorsby, who reportedly placed thousands of gambling bets either himself or via proxies over the last four years years, including ones for, against, and unrelated to his team, was originally ruled ineligible to compete by the NCAA.

An appeal by Texas Tech, which Sorsby transferred to this offseason after two years with the Cincinnati Bearcats, was shot down by the NCAA.

The Red Raiders quarterback applied for an injunction against the ruling in the 99th district court of Lubbock County, Texas. The judge ruled in favor of Sorsby and granted him a temporary injunction against the ruling, making him eligible for next football season with just a two-game suspension.

Sorsby's legal battles aren't quite over, as the NCAA is expected to appeal the legal decision.

However, Sorby's eligibility could lead to further ripple effects for Texas Tech.

Per a report from ESPN college football insider Pete Thamel, officials in the Big Ten, the conference the Washington Huskies are a part of, are expected to discuss a league-wide mandate against scheduling the Red Raiders in all athletic events in the coming days.

The discussion of the league-wide mandate comes after Nebraska Cornhuskers athletic director Troy Dannen informed his staff they're not allowed to schedule Texas Tech. Georgia Bulldogs athletic director Josh Brooks made a similar decision Monday.

The Huskies don't have any games scheduled against the Red Raiders for football or men's and women's basketball, but it's unclear whether a mandate of this nature would impact postseason games.

The response to not scheduling Texas Tech seems to be with the effort of preserving integrity of the games, given the fact Sorsby bet both for and against his team.

This could have an immediate impact on the Washington football team if it meets some of the expectations it has this season. The Huskies are ranked in the mid-teens in most preseason Top 25 polls, which would place them right in the middle of competition for one of the 12 spots on the College Football Playoff bracket.

The Red Raiders won the Big 12 last season and made the CFP, which could mean a Big Ten-wide mandate could be tested as soon as this upcoming winter.

Washington's football team isn't scheduled to play a Big 12 opponent this season in the regular season. Its non-conference schedule will be comprised of games against the Pac-12's Washington State and Utah State and the Big Sky's Eastern Washington.
