Overview
- Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby is in a residential program for gambling addiction and on indefinite leave as the NCAA reviews reports of thousands of bets, including wagers on Indiana games in 2022.
- Under 2023 NCAA rules, betting on one’s own team can bring a permanent loss of eligibility, while smaller or unrelated wagers can cost part of a season.
- A move to the NFL’s supplemental draft is under discussion, with some insiders saying teams could bid on him while others say the league may not approve his entry, and one reporter even predicted an unusually high selection.
- Cincinnati’s $1 million breach‑of‑contract lawsuit over his transfer remains active, and Sorsby’s attorneys have filed a motion to dismiss the case.
- Coaches and analysts cast the episode as a warning about mobile betting and new NIL money, and reporting so far says he is not tied to game fixing or law‑enforcement probes.
