GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Thomas Haugh and Alex Condon grew up on opposite sides of the globe. One was raised amid the rolling farmland of rural Pennsylvania. The other came of age along Australia’s sun-soaked west coast. Neither could have imagined a basketball-obsessed teenager half a world away…
FORT WORTH, Texas — The dividing line on the PGA Tour schedule has existed for decades, but beginning in 2028 that border will be a de facto wall that looks a lot like college football’s Power 4-and-everyone-else calendar. Think of the PGA Tour’s future Track 1 tournaments as Georgia vs. Ten…
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Miami Dolphins general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan might be breathing a sigh of relief from avoiding a dilemma he would’ve had on his hands in the weeks before training camp. The NFL declined to hold a supplemental draft this year, which denied Texas Tech quarterback Br…
NORFOLK, Va. — College sports lost its chew toy du jour Monday when Texas Tech and quarterback Brendan Sorsby, outflanked by the Big 12’s legal muscle, ended their preposterous quest for Sorsby to play this season for the reigning conference champions. But fret not. In major college athletic…

DENVER — In November 2021, Zach Everett was on top of the world. Set to launch down a ski slope at Breckenridge, where he was celebrating his engagement with his fiancée and their friends, Everett glanced at his phone before pushing off. A notification informed Everett that he had just won $…
DENVER — In November 2021, Zach Everett was on top of the world. Set to launch down a ski slope at Breckenridge, where he was celebrating his engagement with his fiancée and their friends, Everett glanced at his phone before pushing off. A notification informed Everett that he had just won $55,000 on a $15 fantasy-golf wager on the DraftKings sports-betting app. The money was in his PayPal ...
ORLANDO, Fla. — Last week, I argued that the Big 12 faced a defining moment. Would Commissioner Brett Yormark, UCF and the rest of the conference membership stand up for the integrity of college athletics, or would they surrender to the growing reality Nick Saban recently described before Congress — a world in which every NCAA rule is merely an invitation to file a lawsuit? Now we have our ...

It doesn’t feel hyperbolic to say the Brendan Sorsby case is an inflection point for the history of whatever remains of the NCAA’s ability to govern college athletics. There doesn’t seem to be a way back if the ruling body has no course of action to discipline a player who so egregiously has violated one of the most cardinal rules in sports. It’s a complicated case, so a deep dive into the ...
ORLANDO, Fla. — Nick Saban sat before Congress just days ago and delivered a warning that should send chills through every corner of college athletics. “Right now in college football we have no rules,” said the greatest college football coach of all time. “We have state laws. We have different laws in every state. We have litigation. The NCAA cannot enforce their own rules because every time ...
FORT WORTH, Texas — America’s favorite sport is not football, or soccer, but screwing over sports fans, which is why FIFA should hold its World Cup in the United States permanently. The NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB and NCAA should all take a course from FIFA on how to defraud customers. What has happened so far to ticket-buying fans who plan to attend these World Cup matches is the second chapter of the ...
FORT WORTH, Texas — For the past eight months, Texas Tech booster Cody Campbell has been accused by fans, coaches and now an increasing number of irritated college athletic officials of “trying to have his cake and eat it, too.” Sprinkled about this sentiment are an array of four-letter words. The football field at Texas Tech’s AT&T Jones Stadium is named after Cody Campbell, as he has donated ...
WASHINGTON — The Senate Commerce Committee has scheduled the markup of a bipartisan measure that proposes sweeping changes to collegiate athletics and has the backing of President Donald Trump. The panel is expected to take up several amendments at the markup on June 18, including one aimed at protecting non-revenue sports. Some athletics departments in recent years have been forced to ...
Tristan Smith is back. On Friday, a local judge granted the Clemson wide receiver’s request for a temporary injunction against the NCAA. The ruling clears the way for Smith to suit up for the Tigers football team in 2026 after a six-month court battle over his eligibility.

WASHINGTON — A push on Capitol Hill to craft legislation to rein in college sports amid skyrocketing costs and roster upheaval has created strange alliances across both the political and athletic spectrums, as was on display Wednesday at a roundtable hearing to rally support for the Senate’s version.

DALLAS — Brendan Sorsby is going to be allowed to play quarterback for Texas Tech this fall (at least as of Monday’s court ruling, which will inevitably lead to another court ruling), and many of my colleagues and about half the sports world believe this to be the death of college football. Sorsby is a player who is reported to have placed thousands of bets during his time at Indiana and ...
SEATTLE — We’ll get to Brendan Sorsby in a second. But on June 12, 2003, the University of Washington fired football coach Rick Neuheisel for twice participating in a neighborhood March Madness bracket pool, then lying about his involvement to NCAA investigators. It didn’t matter that Neuheisel didn’t coach the sport he bet on, or that the Huskies didn’t qualify for either tournament. Rules ...
