I Am Not a Lawyer, Nor Do I Play One on TV
June 8, 2026
But I still think Brendan Sorsby has played his last college football game.
A judge in Texas granted a preliminary injunction against the NCAA which will allow Sorsby to play this season.
The NCAA will obviously appeal the decision. The hope on Sorsby's side is that by the time that an appeal hearing occurs, it won't matter.
But I believe that the NCAA can request an emergency stay of the injunction.
This is an appalling ruling. It has the potential to destroy college sports if allowed to stand. And I don't think that's hyperbole.
If the NCAA cannot dish out punishment for betting on your games, then its over. College sports cannot survive in such an environment.
Still Missing Some CFB Schedule Data
June 5, 2026
I am still missing quite a bit of the CFB schedule data for the 2026 season, particularly for the FCS schools. I am working on correcting that. It will be ready to go by the time the season starts.

CFB FCS Teams Are Now Live!
April 19, 2026
FCS teams have been added to NCAA Football, effective with the 2025 season. 2026 schedules are still being updated, and there is something squirrelly with the 2025 Sanders ratings page. I'll work on getting both of these things updated.
The various ratings pages have been updated to show whether the teams are in the FBS or FCS and you can filter out either subdivision should you wish it.
