Texas Tech says it will not try to recover NIL payments made to Brendan Sorsby after he dropped his suit against the NCAA and pursues NFL eligibility via the supplemental draft; a statement from Cody Campbell frames the decision as legally sound and practical, while underscoring broader calls for NCAA reform and arbitration in eligibility disputes, noting Sorsby never played a game for Tech.

Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby, whose college eligibility was briefly restored by a court injunction amid a gambling-related ban, is applying for the NFL Supplemental Draft and could be a high pick, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero; the NFL declined comment as NCAA and Big 12 filings address the injunction, and the supplemental draft—rare and not used since 2019—could be his route to the NFL.
The NCAA denied Brendan Sorsby’s reinstatement amid a gambling-investigation, potentially ending his college career. After completing rehab, he could enter the NFL supplemental draft if reinstatement isn’t granted, with a June 22 deadline looming and ESPN predicting a possible second-round selection; five teams—Cardinals, Browns, Dolphins, Jets, and Steelers—are highlighted as strong bidders for his rights in a potential draft.
Texas Tech QB Brendan Sorsby faces NCAA scrutiny for allegedly gambling on his own team in 2022 and other online bets, a violation that could end his college career; with online gambling booming, coaches like Kirby Smart and Nick Saban warn about educating players to resist the lure, while the NFL's supplemental draft pathway appears unlikely.
Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby faces a looming NCAA eligibility decision as investigators probe gambling tied to his time at Indiana (and Cincinnati), with a strong belief he could be ruled ineligible for the 2026 season; he’s currently in rehab for a gambling addiction, and while an injunction to override an NCAA ruling is possible in theory, it’s unlikely given the NCAA’s 2023 guidelines that punish gambling on one’s own school. If ruled ineligible, Sorsby could pursue NFL’s supplemental draft route, though Texas Tech would likely fight any ruling and has reportedly earmarked millions for him.
