Conference Seeks Declaratory Judgment and Injunctive Relief

The Big 12 Conference announced Monday that it has commenced federal legal proceedings in the Northern District of Texas. The lawsuit names Texas Tech University and the Texas Attorney General as defendants.

Purpose of the Lawsuit

The primary objective of the Big 12's legal action is to obtain both a declaratory judgment and injunctive relief. These legal remedies are sought to affirm the conference's right to enforce its established bylaws, specifically in relation to a situation involving Brendan Sorsby.

The conference aims to ensure that its internal governance mechanisms and rules can be applied as intended, without external interference, thereby preserving its autonomy in managing member institutions and athletes according to its regulations.
