Brendan Sorsby drops lawsuit against NCAA after getting an injunction to play despite gambling
The move restores the NCAA ineligibility ruling after Sorsby admitted to thousands of impermissible bets worth at least $90,000.
Brendan Sorsby, quarterback, dropped his lawsuit against the NCAA on Thursday, rendering himself ineligible again and ending his college football career due to gambling violations.
Sorsby admitted to making thousands of bets worth at least $90,000 while playing at Indiana, Cincinnati, and Texas Tech, including at least 40 wagers during his freshman year in 2022.
Judge Ken Curry issued a temporary injunction on June 8 allowing Sorsby to play despite his admissions; the 99th District Court in Lubbock County filed a motion to dismiss the suit Thursday.
Sorsby must be ineligible for NCAA play to qualify for the NFL's supplemental draft. The 22-year-old quarterback tentatively plans to work out for professional teams on July 10.
Texas Tech regents chairman Cody Campbell announced Monday that Sorsby would not play this fall, with the decision made alongside the player and his family considering the draft deadline.
