NCAA Denies Sorsby Reinstatement, Texas Tech QB Seeks 2026 Injunction

The NCAA has denied Texas Tech QB Brendan Sorsby’s 2026 eligibility request as he completes a 35-day inpatient rehab for gambling addiction and pursues a temporary injunction to play this season while the NCAA investigation into his gambling activities (2022–25) continues. A June 1 hearing is set for the injunction, with the June 22 NFL Supplemental Draft deadline looming. Sorsby’s lawsuit, filed in Lubbock County, seeks to expedite the investigation; he has enlisted antitrust lawyer Jeffrey Kessler. The case follows reports of Sorsby’s betting on Indiana in 2022 and a late-April leave of absence, against NCAA guidelines that could lead to permanent loss of eligibility for gambling-related activities.
