Brendan Sorsby, a quarterback who was declared ineligible by the NCAA for gambling, is allowed to play again after a Texas court grants him a temporary injunction. Multiple outlets report the ruling comes from a Lubbock-area judge and overrides the NCAA’s lifetime gambling ineligibility decision tied to wagers made while Sorsby was listed on a roster at Indiana, including bets placed on his own team. The court decision permits Sorsby to practice and compete for Texas Tech in the 2026 season. Sources also say the injunction does not erase consequences entirely, with Sorsby serving a two-game suspension before he can play.
The outlets describe the NCAA’s position as continuing to oppose the injunction and reiterate that its decision remains in effect absent further legal action. Meanwhile, reporting also notes Sorsby later turns his attention toward football beyond college, including plans related to the supplemental NFL draft, though the court ruling specifically addresses his ability to participate with Texas Tech. Overall, the coverage centers on the judge’s decision to block the NCAA’s ban in the near term and the ongoing legal and athletic implications.
