Overview
- The Big 12 filed a federal complaint to keep the right to discipline Brendan Sorsby under conference bylaws and said it will not drop that suit despite his move toward the NFL.
- Sorsby has admitted placing roughly $90,000 in bets across about 9,000 wagers, including bets tied to Indiana while he was on that roster, conduct the NCAA bars for student‑athletes.
- After a temporary injunction from Judge Ken Curry briefly restored limited eligibility, Sorsby withdrew his court challenge and entered the NFL supplemental draft this week.
- Sorsby’s agent, Ron Slavin, says the player has already faced punishment through treatment, legal fees and public backlash, while critics and some league observers call for further sanctions.
- The NFL now faces a choice that could shape precedent: bar him from the supplemental draft, allow teams to blind‑bid for him and risk later suspension, or impose league discipline before he plays.
