Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach urged the Big 12 Conference to uphold an NCAA decision tied to Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby’s eligibility. In a statement sent Monday, June 15, Kobach directed his message to Big 12 Commissioner Brent Yormark and University of Kansas Chancellor Doug Girod, who is identified in the article as the chairman of the Big 12 conference’s council.

The appeal centers on whether the Big 12 will “stand by” the NCAA ruling in the eligibility dispute involving Sorsby.

KSNT 27 News reports that Kobach is pressing the conference to follow the NCAA’s outcome in this matter.
