Overview
- A Lubbock County judge granted the injunction that makes Sorsby eligible for the 2026 season but bars him from Texas Tech’s first two games as the court-ordered penalty.
- The court found Sorsby would suffer “probable, imminent and irreparable injury” from losing access to Division I coaching, training and team resources, a key reason the judge allowed temporary reinstatement.
- Court filings and reporting show Sorsby admitted to placing roughly 2,900–3,000 wagers over four years totaling about $90,000, including at least 40 bets on Indiana while he was a redshirt freshman.
- Sorsby entered and completed an inpatient treatment program for a diagnosed gambling disorder, a fact his lawyers used to argue for mitigation and that he should be allowed to return to play.
- The NCAA condemned the ruling and is expected to appeal, a move that could test how courts review NCAA discipline and shape future enforcement of collegiate sports betting rules.
