NCAA Clears University of Cincinnati of Wrongdoing in Brendan Sorsby Gambling Investigation
The NCAA said the violation was isolated and limited, and court records show Brendan Sorsby made at least $90,000 in impermissible bets.
On Wednesday, the NCAA officially cleared the University of Cincinnati of any wrongdoing following an investigation into former quarterback Brendan Sorsby's extensive sports gambling activity, with no penalties assessed against the university, its coaches, or other athletes.
ProhiBet flagged Sorsby for attempting to access PrizePicks in August 2024 while a Cincinnati member, prompting the NCAA inquiry that stemmed from his prohibited betting history.
Enforcement staff determined Sorsby committed a Level III violation—isolated and limited in nature—by placing thousands of impermissible wagers totaling at least $90,000, with all penalties attached solely to the student-athlete.
Following his transfer to Texas Tech, Sorsby remains involved in a separate $1 million buyout dispute with Cincinnati while now eligible for the 2027 NFL Draft after the supplemental draft was not held.
Cincinnati is set to begin its 2026 regular season on Saturday, hosting Boston College at Nippert Stadium, as head coach Scott Satterfield and defensive coordinator Nate Woody prepare the team for the upcoming schedule.
