NCAA alleges Brendan Sorsby wagered about $90K across his college career, including bets on his own teams

The NCAA filed a court document alleging Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby placed roughly $90,000 in impermissible wagers during his college career, including bets on Indiana football and basketball and later during his time at Cincinnati and Texas Tech, some placed via proxies with betting apps. Sorsby signed at Tech on Jan. 13 acknowledging NCAA wagering rules, and the NCAA has ruled him ineligible for the 2026 season while he seeks partial eligibility through a temporary injunction. The filing attributes intensified wagering after his transfer, with thousands wagered in 2024–25 and more than $60,000 provided to a friend to deposit in a FanDuel account. Sorsby had previously admitted betting on Indiana as a freshman. Tech officials have criticized NCAA bylaws for not adapting to legalized betting, and Sorsby has entered gambling addiction treatment; if the injunction fails, he could pursue the NFL supplemental draft.
