Sorsby seeks court order to reinstate NCAA eligibility for Texas Tech's 2026 season
TL;DR
Brendan Sorsby has filed a Texas state-court lawsuit seeking a court order to reinstate his NCAA eligibility for Texas Tech’s 2026 season, arguing the NCAA is hypocritical on gambling and delaying reinstatement causes irreparable harm; the NCAA maintains its rules on betting on one’s own team and has not yet received a reinstatement request, while Sorsby—who is in inpatient treatment for gambling addiction—had admitted betting on Indiana; the suit requests a June 15 hearing and notes that a ruling could advantage Texas Tech in the local court.
