The Big 12 Conference has withdrawn the federal lawsuit filed against Texas Tech University in June. The legal action stemmed from questions regarding the eligibility of former quarterback Brendan Sorsby. According to sources cited by ESPN's Pete Thamel, the conference decided to drop the case on Monday.

The withdrawal resolves the legal dispute that had surrounded the player's status. Texas Tech now moves forward without the pending litigation. The decision comes amid ongoing discussions about collegiate athlete eligibility rules.
