x/conner-weigman
— Sep 16, 2026
Texas Tech’s roster-spending push remains front and center as it reportedly spent around $5 million to keep Brendan Sorsby and has long been a leader in the Big 12, though recent estimates show BYU now closer to the pack and Tech not necessarily the most expensive.

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.

Business
— Sep 11, 2026
Gene Kwon argues that entrepreneurs should decompose big bets into smaller, testable decisions and focus on practical questions about who has the problem and whether a new solution would actually be used, rather than rushing to scale. Drawing on his work in logistics and tech with Move Method, eHub, and RealVu Technologies, he emphasizes learning early to determine if an idea solves a real problem.

Focusing on whether anyone would actually use it sounds basic but too many skip that step and scale too soon anyway.
