Brett Yormark Won the Brendan Sorsby Saga...But Did the Big 12 Lose?

Brett Yormark may be the biggest winner of the entire Brendan Sorsby saga. After Texas Tech backed Sorsby, the Big 12 responded with an aggressive federal lawsuit that helped push the situation toward the NFL Supplemental Draft instead of a long, ugly fight over whether Sorsby could play for the Red Raiders. John Kurtz breaks down why Yormark’s handling of the Sorsby situation was a major win for the Big 12, why it challenged old stereotypes about the conference being passive, and why standing up to Texas Tech may have changed how people view Big 12 leadership. But there’s also a bigger question: did Brett Yormark win too much? A report from The Athletic noted that many in college sports do not expect the Big 12 commissioner job to be his last. Could this Sorsby saga raise Yormark’s profile enough that Big 12 fans should worry about what comes next?
