Former TCU student-athlete Jacob Hernandez is not able to compete for the University of Texas but is able to practice with Texas' track and field team, his lawyer said.Shelby Sharpe, Hernandez's attorney, said he knows Hernandez is working out in Austin, but does not know if he is actually practicing with the team. There is no NCAA rule prohibiting Hernandez from practicing with Texas, Sharpe said.

Hernandez, an award-winning sprinter, is suing TCU for his release and necessary attorney fees and costs, according to the lawsuit. Hernandez recently transferred to Texas.

Masia said he prefers to use ourTunes, but when he cannot find a song, he will buy it on the Internet.
