Sorsby and NCAA Await Ruling After Judge Hears Case as QB Seeks Eligibility After Admitting Bets
Sorsby says his gambling addiction treatment should outweigh NCAA rules that would keep him off the field after thousands of bets totaling at least $90,000.
- On Monday, attorneys for Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby and the NCAA presented arguments before Senior Judge Ken Curry regarding an injunction to allow Sorsby to play next season following his permanent ineligibility ruling.
- After acknowledging thousands of wagers totaling at least $90,000 while at Cincinnati and Indiana, Sorsby recently completed a 35-day in-patient rehab program at Algamus in Goodyear, Arizona, for diagnosed gambling and anxiety disorders.
- NCAA lead attorney Taylor Askew argued Sorsby's bets on Indiana football violate permanent ineligibility rules, stating, "This is thousands of violations, 40 individual bets on Indiana football when he was a member of the team."
- Lead attorney Jeffrey Kessler argued the NCAA failed to consider Sorsby's mental health, asserting the quarterback never sought to compromise game integrity or influence outcomes through his addiction-driven compulsion.
- With no ruling yet from Judge Curry, attorneys requested a decision by June 15 so Sorsby can decide on entering the NFL supplemental draft by June 22.
