Brendan Sorsby, quarterback who moved from Indiana to Texas Tech, placed at least 40 bets on Indiana football, wagering about $90,000 over four years via accounts belonging to family and friends. Court documents show he used Hard Rock Bet, FanDuel, Underdog and PrizePicks. He stopped betting on Indiana once he joined the active roster. The betting spanned college and events, though none involved Texas Tech.

Sorsby, diagnosed with gambling and anxiety disorders, completed a 35‑day rehab stint and now seeks a temporary injunction to keep his eligibility. The NCAA denied his reinstatement request, prompting Texas Tech to appeal. His lawyers argue the league should treat his addiction like any other mental‑health issue, noting the NCAA’s struggle to keep pace with the booming online betting market.

The stipulated facts confirm Sorsby never wagered on games he played in and did not attempt to influence outcomes, but he transferred $60,000 to friends to cover bets and continued gambling at Texas Tech on unrelated sports. Facing permanent ineligibility, he agreed to ongoing treatment, gambling‑education classes and to help educate peers, while the June 1 hearing will determine his collegiate future.
