Brendan Sorsby gambling investigation: Judge to rule on Texas Tech QB's injunction to regain NCAA eligibility
A judge will decide Monday whether to grant Texas Tech QB Brendan Sorsby an injunction to regain his NCAA eligibility amid a gambling investigation.Summary
Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby faces a pivotal court hearing on Monday where Judge Ken Curry will decide whether to grant an injunction that would allow him to play college football while his lawsuit against the NCAA proceeds. Sorsby was ruled permanently ineligible by the NCAA after admitting to placing hundreds of bets over four years, including on his own team, Indiana football. His legal team argues his gambling addiction and anxiety, exacerbated by the NCAA's relationship with gambling companies, provide extenuating circumstances. The university and coach Joey McGuire have supported Sorsby, who is receiving treatment for his addiction. If the injunction is denied, Sorsby's college career would effectively end, though he could consider the NFL Supplemental Draft. Backup quarterback Will Hammond is also recovering from an ACL injury and could fill the void if Sorsby is unable to play.
