A brutal night for Victor Wembanyama continued even after he returned to his hotel.

The Texas attorney general's office warned the Big 12 on Thursday of potential legal action from Texas Tech as the conference considers what to do after Red Raiders quarterback Brendan Sorsby won a court order restoring his eligibility and setting aside his ban by the NCAA for gambling on pro and college sports. Big 12 Commissioner Brett Yormark said the notice came shortly before the start of the league's executive board meeting to discuss its options in the Sorsby situation. The temporary injunction issued Monday by a Texas district court prevents the NCAA from enforcing its permanent ban of Sorsby, a decision that sent shock waves across college sports. The transfer QB had been ruled ineligible after he acknowledged years of gambling that included at least 40 bets on his own team while he was a freshman at Indiana. Texas Tech said he has completed a month-long inpatient treatment program and will continue to receive treatment and support while being monitored. What was the AG's warning to the Big 12? The letter from the Texas AG's office was addressed to Yormark and Kansas Chancellor Douglas Girod, the chairman of the Big 12 board of directors. It specifically references a conference bylaw that, with a supermajority vote, could result in sanctioning a school that has "engaged in any action or a course of conduct materially adverse to the best interests of the conference taken as a whole." The AG's office said any sanctions against Texas Tech for "acting consistent" with the district court injunction "would be a per se violation of federal and state antitrust laws a naked horizontal agreement among competitors to disadvantage Texas Tech by cutting off access to the resources it needs to compete." Beyond any antitrust exposure, the letter said, the Big 12 would also face liability for "breach of contract and tortious interference" for any sanction that results in the alteration of Texas Tech's scheduled games. The letter was signed by Thomas York, chief of the antitrust division, and Kimberly Gdula, chief of the litigation division. The attorney general, Ken Paxton, is the Republican nominee for the U.S. Senate race in Texas this fall. Yormark said the conference is taking time with its legal counsel to understand the concerns of the state. There were also multiple reports that Jeffrey Kessler, who represents Sorsby in his case against the NCAA, sent a separate and similar letter Thursday to the Big 12. That letter reportedly referenced the same Big 12 bylaw and warned the league that it is bound by the court's ruling this week. The NCAA has said it will appeal to the Court of Appeals for the Seventh District of Texas, seeking an accelerated decision to overturn the injunction and again make Sorsby ineligible. Big 12 is still considering all options Since NCAA rules call for a permanent loss of eligibility for any player who wagered on his own team, the judges decision brought sharp criticism from college sports leadership, including in Texas Techs own league. The executive board met as planned Thursday in preparation for a meeting Monday of the Big 12's full board of directors, which is made up of presidents and chancellors from the league's 16 schools. "We had a good and informative discussion. Sentiment among the executive board was no different from what we heard from the ADs earlier this week," Yormark said. "Our discussion with the full board will determine our course of action, and all options remain on the table." The board meeting came two days after a conference call among Big 12 athletic directors, who expressed strong opposition to Sorsby playing for the Red Raiders in what will be his final college season. Some of those ADs even suggested maybe not playing Texas Tech if he does. Sorsby transferred to Texas Tech in January for a reported multimillion-dollar deal after playing the past two seasons at Cincinnati, another Big 12 school. The Texas native first spent two seasons at Indiana. The warning from a big booster The threat of legal action came one day after Texas Tech billionaire booster and regents chair Cody Campbell mentioned that possibility during a podcast appearance with Dan Dakich. Campbell was addressing reports of schools talking about boycotting the Red Raiders. "I love when the Big Ten or the K-State AD comes out and says weve all gotten together and weve talked about how were not going to play Tech, because guess what? Thats collusion," Campbell said. "Thats an antitrust violation. So have fun with that one, guys. You cant do that." Campbell, a former offensive lineman at the school, has been a key figure in helping Texas Tech land top players over the past two years. The Red Raiders, with one of college football's most expensive rosters, won their first Big 12 title last season. They set a school record with 12 wins and made it to the 12-team College Football Playoff. Sorsby was brought in to be the starting quarterback after hometown favorite Behren Morton exhausted his eligibility. Reporting by the Associated Press.

Latest Vikings prediction is bad news for J.J. McCarthy in 2026 originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.The Minnesota Vikings are one of the most interesting teams to keep up with this offseason.In a lot of ways, the team is in good shape. They have a solid defense and probably the best wide receiver trio in the entire league. However, none of that matters if you don't have a quarterback, and it's fair to say the Vikings didn't get good enough quarterback play a year ago.As a result, the team brought in veteran Kyler Murray to compete with former top pick J.J. McCarthy. Murray is a two-time Pro Bowler who, at one time, looked like one of the best passers in the league.However, some people still have hope that former top pick McCarthy can put it all together. If you're one of the people in that camp, though, a recent prediction will disappoint you.Vikings predicted to roll with Murray over McCarthyBrent Sobleski of Bleacher Report recently predicted the winner of every notable QB competition. For the Vikings, Sobleski went with Murray and offered the following rationale:Unless McCarthy somehow showed significant growth and understanding of the position this offseason, Murray is a superior option.Murray's combination of athleticism, arm talent and experience are all massive upgrades, even if the 28-year-old veteran struggled to elevate the Arizona Cardinals after being the No. 1 overall pick in the 2019 class. He's now entering one of the league's most QB-friendly schemes with an outstanding head coach/play-caller in Kevin O'Connell.The Vikings need to make the obvious choice sooner rather than later so the offense can hit the ground running this fall.As Sobleski mentioned, there's pretty much no denying Murray is the more talented passer. Murray has thrown for over 20,000 yards in his career and has 121 touchdowns to 60 interceptions.Murray's tenure didn't end pretty in Arizona, but that entire team was a disaster. Kevin O'Connell has elevated multiple quarterbacks in the past, and there's no reason to think Murray can't be his next reclamation project.Unless McCarthy has an incredible training camp and preseason, it's hard to see the youngster winning the job. Perhaps a repeat of the Sam Darnold situation occurs, where Murray dominates in 2026 and then cashes out in free agency, thus paving the way for McCarthy to get another chance in 2027.More NFL news:James Gladstone keeps getting roasted for 2026 draft49ers once again took a major risk during the draftBlockbuster trade proposal gives Lions elite defenderPackers urged to trade for disgruntled star ahead of 2026 seasonFormer Tennessee star could be 49ers' best UDFABengals urged to sign future Hall of Famer for offense
