The NCAA officially denied the Texas Tech quarterback’s request for reinstatement 😳
The NCAA officially denied the Texas Tech quarterback’s request for reinstatement, meaning Sorsby is now fighting for a temporary injunction that could still allow him to play during the 2026 season while the case continues in court.
Sorsby’s legal team is reportedly arguing that denying him eligibility could damage both his mental health and future NFL opportunities, especially considering this would’ve been his final season of College Football.
The entire situation originally started after Texas Tech announced Sorsby stepped away from the program earlier this offseason for treatment related to a gambling addiction.
Reports later revealed that Sorsby placed bets on Indiana Football while he was a member of the Hoosiers in 2022, along with placing live wagers on pitches during Cincinnati Reds games.
According to reports, the bets themselves were relatively small and there has been no indication that Sorsby attempted to influence games in any way.
Now the case is headed toward a June 1 hearing as Sorsby attempts to stay eligible before the June 22 deadline for the NFL Supplemental Draft.
Honestly, this entire situation feels like one of the first major cases that shows how complicated gambling has become around College Football and college athletics as a whole.
Do you think Brendan Sorsby should be allowed to play in 2026? 🤔
