Brendan Sorsby Throws Hail Mary to Save College Career. Here's What It Means
Sorsby's attorneys argue his gambling addiction is a mental health condition, seeking an injunction to play in 2026 while investigations continue.
- On Monday, May 18, Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby filed an injunction in Lubbock District Court against the NCAA, seeking to restore his eligibility for the 2026 college football season.
- Following discoveries that he made "thousands" of online bets on various sports dating back to his 2022 freshman season at Indiana, Sorsby entered a residential treatment program in late April for gambling addiction.
- Attorneys led by sports labor attorney Jeffrey Kessler argue the NCAA's position is "hypocritical" given its gambling partnerships, while Sorsby admitted to "placing small bets on the Indiana football team, typically in amounts between $5 and $50" in 2022.
- Texas Tech officially declared Sorsby ineligible for competition and intends to initiate the reinstatement process, though the NCAA stated it has not yet received a formal request regarding the case.
- Sorsby's legal team seeks a resolution by June 15, one week ahead of the June 22 National Football League Supplemental Draft deadline that will determine whether he can play high-level football anywhere this year.
