Overview
- Sorsby, 22, left the team Monday to check into a residential program for a gambling addiction, with Texas Tech and coach Joey McGuire saying the focus is on his health and recovery.
- ESPN and other outlets report the NCAA is investigating thousands of online wagers across multiple sports, including bets on Indiana games in 2022 when he redshirted and did not play, and no law enforcement inquiry has been reported.
- NCAA policy bars athletes from betting on college or pro sports, with permanent loss of eligibility possible for wagering on one’s own games, though Sorsby remains eligible pending the outcome of the investigation and any appeal.
- Sorsby arrived in January on a reported $4 million to $6 million NIL deal, and he also faces a Cincinnati lawsuit seeking a $1 million buyout from a prior revenue-sharing agreement, which his attorneys moved to dismiss Monday.
- Texas Tech’s depth at quarterback is strained as projected backup Will Hammond rehabs a torn ACL, raising short‑term roster questions if Sorsby is sidelined under NCAA discipline.
