Texas Tech ruled starting quarterback Brendan Sorsby ineligible after agreeing on facts with the NCAA and said it will quickly seek his reinstatement for the 2026 season.
More than 10,000 wagers dating to 2022 triggered the case, according to sources, with Sorsby allegedly betting on Indiana games while redshirting and using multiple apps across several states.
Sorsby entered residential treatment for a gambling addiction in April, and his lawsuit filed Monday accused the NCAA of exploiting his condition while policing a sports-betting system it also profits from.
The ruling clouds Texas Tech's quarterback plan after paying upward of $5 million for the Cincinnati transfer, shifting attention to ACL-recovering Will Hammond and possibly Tulsa transfer Kirk Francis.
Is this QB a cheater, or the first major casualty of college sports' gambling health crisis?
Is the NCAA's gambling ban about integrity or an outdated rule in a world that embraces sports betting?
