Big 12 withdraws Texas Tech, Paxton lawsuit after private settlement
x/ken-paxton
— Sep 8, 2026
The Big 12 has dropped its federal lawsuit against Texas Tech, the Texas Tech University System, and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton with prejudice, effectively closing the case after the matter was handled internally. The dispute centered on Brendan Sorsby’s eligibility amid extensive sports betting, with Sorsby admitting thousands of bets totaling at least $90,000 and the NCAA taking a role, including temporary injunctive relief that could have restored his eligibility before the matter was resolved.

Paxton Pen Allegations Roil Texas Senate Race
x/ken-paxton
— Aug 21, 2026
The Texas U.S. Senate race between Democrat James Talarico and Republican Ken Paxton has intensified around Paxton’s long-running ethics and legal controversies, including a resurfaced 2013 incident in which he pocketed a $1,000 Montblanc pen and a broader critique of his record on animal welfare and a high-profile plea deal in a child-sex case. Campaigns are leaning on simplified narratives—such as the pen episode, puppy-records disputes at Texas A&M, and Paxton’s stance on transgender athletes—to frame judgments about Paxton’s fitness for office as the race tightens toward a toss-up.
