Gambling saga to NFL setback: Sorsby's pro dream stalled again

Brendan Sorsby’s roller-coaster saga—from a NCAA gambling investigation and an injunction that allowed him to play in 2026, to withdrawing his lawsuit and pursuing the NFL supplemental draft—culminated in the NFL denying entry for 2026 and not holding a supplemental draft this year, delaying his pro plans and underscoring tensions around gambling, eligibility and governance in college sports.

OK AG urges Big 12 to suspend Brendan Sorsby despite court order

Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond urged the Big 12 to suspend Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby even though a court order has restored his eligibility after the NCAA deemed him permanently ineligible for extensive wagering; he argues the order applies to the NCAA, not the conference, and calls for sanctions if Texas Tech won’t act. Supporters say the court order stands unless reversed, so Sorsby remains eligible to play, while critics frame the move as political theatrics tied to broader debates over sports governance and antitrust considerations.

Patrick accuses Texas Tech of hypocrisy over Brendan Sorsby reinstatement

Radio host Dan Patrick denounces Texas Tech's reinstatement of Brendan Sorsby, calling it hypocritical given his gambling-history scrutiny, and argues treatment should come before football as a court-ordered injunction allows the QB to return while the NCAA appeal proceeds; Sorsby will start with a two-game suspension this season amid ongoing legal proceedings.

NCAA appeals Sorsby eligibility ruling in fast-track case

The NCAA filed an accelerated appeal to Texas’ Seventh District Court challenging the ruling that reinstated Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby after he admitted betting on college games; a final decision is expected by June 22 to align with NFL supplemental-draft timing, and the sparse four-page ruling could help the appeals court overturn it. Sorsby has already received a two-game suspension amid public outcry over gambling by a player on a college roster.
