Brendan Sorsby Placed 40+ IU Football Bets While Hoosiers QB

On Tuesday, May 26, the NCAA denied Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby's request for reinstatement, rendering him ineligible for the 2026 college football season due to impermissible wagering violations.
Court documents filed Friday reveal Sorsby placed approximately $90,000 in impermissible bets over four years using accounts registered to friends and family while at Indiana, Cincinnati, and Texas Tech.
Sorsby, diagnosed with a gambling and anxiety disorder, recently completed a 35-day stint in an Arizona rehabilitation center, writing that his betting became a "compulsion" he could not resist.
Seeking a temporary injunction, Sorsby hired attorneys Jeffrey Kessler and Scott Tompsett to challenge the NCAA ruling, with a hearing set for Monday in Lubbock County District Court.
The June 1 court date could determine Sorsby's path forward, as he faces a June 22 deadline to declare for the NFL supplemental draft as a highly regarded prospect.
