Overview
- Sorsby and his lawyers told courts Monday that they will withdraw the eligibility lawsuit so he can apply to the NFL supplemental draft before the league's June 22 filing deadline.
- A Texas judge had granted Sorsby a temporary injunction that would have let him play after a two‑game suspension, but the NCAA has filed an expedited appeal seeking to overturn that order.
- The Big 12 filed a federal complaint seeking court approval to sanction Texas Tech if the school fields Sorsby, and several member schools had threatened boycotts or canceled events over his potential play.
- Court records and reporting show Sorsby placed more than 9,000 wagers totaling about $90,000 during his college career, including at least 40 bets on Indiana games while he was on that team.
- With Sorsby leaving for the NFL, the wider legal questions about gambling enforcement, conference authority and treatment‑based mitigation will proceed in court with a trial set for February 8, 2027.
