Summary
Brendan Sorsby, a QB poised to play for Texas Tech, just won a temporary courtroom victory against the NCAA — the governing body that had banned him for betting on college games, including his own team at Indiana. A judge ruled he can play this fall, though he’ll miss the first two games, citing serious harm to his mental health and recovery if barred. Sorsby, now in treatment for gambling addiction and anxiety, is supported by Texas Tech’s AD, who vows to help him follow court orders. The NCAA argues letting him play would damage their reputation, claiming it implies they condone betting — even though records show Sorsby placed over $90K in bets across schools. With a temporary injunction in place, Sorsby can now practice and play while the legal battle continues — and the NCAA still has the right to appeal.
