Texas Tech announced Tuesday the NCAA has denied the school's petition to have quarterback Brendan Sorsby's eligibility reinstated after he acknowledged wagering on sports, including on his own team when he was a freshman. University president Lawrence Schovanec wrote in a letter to the Texas Tech community that the school would appeal the ruling.

Bill Belichick is entering his second season as head coach at North Carolina, with expectations of program growth and more wins. Belichick was a surprise hire at UNC in the winter of 2024, after spending nearly his entire coaching career in the NFL.

But during a recent episode of "The Joel Klatt Show," FOX Sports lead college football analyst Joel Klatt explained why what feels inevitable to many around the […]

Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby, who entered residential treatment for a gambling addiction three weeks ago, filed a lawsuit Monday seeking to have the NCAA restore his eligibility. Sorsby had landed a multimillion-dollar deal to return to his home state for his final college season, but his eligibility was jeopardized when he acknowledged wagering on sports. His lawsuit, filed in Lubbock County, Texas, by local attorney Dustin Burrows, asks for […]

The defensive back from Orlando, Florida, notched 73 tackles, two interceptions and eight pass breakups last season and chose the Wolverines over other programs like Texas A&M and Ole Miss.

The Atlantic Coast Conference is backing the Big Ten's push for a 24-team playoff, commissioner Jim Phillips said Wednesday.
