Since Texas is finally entering Southeastern Conference play, the Longhorns will be required to provide updates for the SEC Student-Athlete Availability Report beginning tonight. You’ll be able to find the actual report here on the SEC’s website.

More commonly known as an injury report, the SEC Availability Report is released Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday just after 7 p.m. CT and then 90 minutes before kickoff on gameday. According to the policy, which can be found here, “any student-athlete who regularly participates in games (even on a limited basis) is subject to mandatory disclosure pursuant to this policy. In football, this includes any student-athlete regularly on the travel roster for an SEC road game.”

For the Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday updates, players can be

  • Probable (i.e., probable to play/75% chance to play)
  • Questionable (i.e., uncertain to play/50% chance to play)
  • Doubtful (i.e., unlikely to play/25% chance to play)
  • Out (i.e., will not play/0% chance to play)

On the gameday listing, players will be off the injury report/available, a game-time decision, or out.

For Texas ahead of the Florida game, expect to see players like Quintrevion Wisner, Emmett Mosley V, and CJ Baxter garner some designation.

According to the SEC, “failure to provide accurate and timely information on the Availability Report will subject the offending institution, and, if appropriate, the offending head coach, to accountability measures, including, but not limited to, private or public reprimands, fines, and other measures as appropriate.”

Penalties for violating the Student-Athlete Availability Reporting Policy include $25,000 for a first offense, $50,000 for a second offense, and $100,000 for any further offense. The head coach is also subject to punishment.
