Texas Tech’s Big 12 Surge: How ESPN’s Praise Masks a Brewing Brendan Sorsby Controversy
For the first time in program history, Texas Tech football won the Big 12. In 2026, the focus moves to becoming the first repeat conference champion since Oklahoma won the conference in 2019 and 2020. Part of that process was bringing in Brendan Sorsby, who is not embroiled in a gambling scandal.
Despite the Sorsby scandal, ESPN still believes that Texas Tech had the best offseason in the entire conference.
The breakdown for each team was broken into four sections, starting with the key additions, departures, and incoming recruits. Then, moved into the biggest coaching moves. Texas Tech has both coordinators returning to the program, which can be rare for a team coming off such a successful season. They did need to replace two defensive coaches, but snagged two from the NFL ranks in Imarjaye Albury Sr. and Jacquies Smith, keeping continuity in an already solid staff.
