“Texas Tech QB Brendan Sorsby to enter gambling addiction program”

no idea. These gambling sites offer something like $100 free for signing up or something like that and then who knows after. Soccer player at one of the schools I work at had to quit the team to get a job. He posted something on social media and said he was already down a couple thousand and was borrowing from friends. Head coach saw it and told his parents, kid would have been a D3 player too.
Haha, come work in a MD school system, we are beyond the point of no return.
Me when a team tries to enforce a contract on these players who think rules don't apply to them:
Reports: U Cincinnati knew of Sorsby’s gambling problem before the 2025 season and let him play, that’s something they were obligated to report to the NCAA.
Still feels like some other big shoe to drop compared to what has been reported. Especially if the "Cincinnati knew" story is true
I don't play and have never had interest in any card games. I also have never had any interest in gambling.
Who can resist some Turkish basketball action?
I've definitely arb'd some Turkish basketball games at some point in my life (and many of those Euro leagues that would be slow to move at certain books back in the day). Never found an edge in the Nathan's Hot Dog contest though.
I'd bet against...they can make a smokescreen around everything else, but betting on games of your own team is unforgivable.
Liberals are more interested in diversity than education.
and they need to make someone an example. he is as likely as anyone, easy target.
NCAA denies reinstatement for QB Sorsby; Texas Tech to appeal
The NCAA has denied Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby's request for reinstatement, putting his lawsuit against the NCAA seeking an injunction for his eligibility for the 2026 season into further focus.

So does this mean that TT is going to make a big trade for a qb or are they up the creek without a paddle? By the way, this couldn't happen to a more deserving program that basically is trying to spend their way to a NC; they're basically like an European soccer team that's run by some Saudi sovereign wealth fund. Finally, if every aspect of college football now is professional, schools probably should be allowed to engage in trades. After all, it's no less preposterous than schools needing to maintain a NFL payroll to be competitive, and we all know that most of these players are mercenaries who neither care where they go to school nor actually do go to school..NCAA denies reinstatement for QB Sorsby; Texas Tech to appeal

It’s a sad but fascinating story. Imagine how many cfb players are wrapped up in significant gambling in the nil era.Sorsby placed at least 40 bets on Indiana football as a Hoosiers QB

How many college athletes are scrambling around trying to cover their gambling tracks. That he was using surrogates as cover under cuts his mental health claim to a certain degree. Implies he knew he was doing something wrong and taking active steps to avoid detection
I would imagine many are doing so. These players are getting big money in the nil era. How many of them are unable to resist temptations like gambling or worse.
Sounds like he was using that as justification as well. It wasn’t about the money, was making big NIL bucks so was gambling for fun till it got away from me
I have zero sympathy for them. They're being given a great opportunity to be paid while getting a free education. If they screw up they deserve the consequences of their actions just like everyone else.
He made countless bad choices and shouldn't be allowed to play football at any level. He can't be trusted.
Best of luck to him. Hopefully he got a real education while chasing money.
Judge weighs eligibility for Texas Tech QB Sorsby in hearing
The fate of Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby's college eligibility will be decided in the near future after a two-hour hearing in Lubbock County District Court on Monday, and the decision will be up to Ken Curry, a retired judge from Tarrant County.

At this point, why would any team want this player? I guess that TT now would sell their soul to the devil because he's their best option, but this obviously is a very sick individual who needs a lot of professional help to overcome his addiction rather than playing a sport. I fully expect the judge to rule in his favor because he probably wants this kid to play for good ole Texas Tech.Judge weighs eligibility for Texas Tech QB Sorsby in hearing

The last time that any entity accepted a NCAA decision was probably the dopes who ran PSU in 2012.
One thing that doesn't add up in this whole thing...the fact that he's reported to have wagered $90k over 4 years, married with the comment that "Sorsby transferred more than $60,000 to two friends to cover bets made on his behalf." Like, what? Was he the least successful gambler of all time (by an order of magnitude), or is something wrong in those facts?
It's probably because he's a talented player and teams are willing to roll the dice that after his program, he's past his addiction as a low stakes gambler (that of course broke rules that you can't break and not face a punishment). It's the same reason teams were willing to take a chance on Chris Herron, Josh Gordon, Aldon Smith, etc.
In today's stunning announcement, Judge Arthur Schlichter...I know. No piling on. I hope this kid gets whatever help he needs to lead a somewhat normal life.Judge weighs eligibility for Texas Tech QB Sorsby in hearing

Wow. You and I agree again. I really don’t think the people running college football held a gun to his head and made him gamble.
Exactly. He made a choice and there's consequences. Good luck to him but his playing career is justly over.
