Overview
- Brendan Sorsby is permanently ineligible for college play after the NCAA documented roughly $90,000 in impermissible wagers and he dropped his legal challenge to regain eligibility.
- Texas Tech says Sorsby will no longer be on the roster but will have facility access and occasional visits while he trains in the Dallas area for the 2027 NFL Draft.
- The NCAA sent a letter of inquiry to the University of Cincinnati on Wednesday seeking information about Sorsby's time with the Bearcats as a developing institutional review.
- Cincinnati has told the NCAA it has cooperated and says staff had no knowledge of Sorsby's wagering while his former coach accused Texas Tech of contacting Sorsby's camp before the transfer portal opened.
- The case has widened the debate over how the NCAA enforces betting rules, how schools monitor players and how courts, conferences and leagues interact in high-profile eligibility disputes.
