Overview
- Sorsby, who retained Kessler on Saturday, is under NCAA investigation for thousands of online wagers dating to 2022, including bets on Indiana games.
- He has entered a residential gambling-treatment program and is on leave from Texas Tech as the NCAA has given no public timetable for a decision.
- Under 2023 NCAA rules, betting on one’s own school can bring permanent loss of eligibility, and heavy cumulative wagering can also trigger a season-long or lifetime ban.
- If reinstatement fails, he could apply for the NFL supplemental draft by June 30, though the league must first approve his entry and analysts disagree on the odds.
- People close to the process say any challenge to an adverse ruling would be filed in Lubbock District Court, while a separate $1 million transfer dispute with Cincinnati is ongoing.
