Under the NCAA’s gambling policy, student-athletes are not allowed to make bets on college or professional sports. Any student-athlete found in violation of the league’s sports betting rules may be subject to permanent loss of all remaining eligibility, as well as their athletic scholarship. This applies to student-athletes who bet on their own games or on other sports at their own schools.
In a joint statement with Sorsby last month, Texas Tech said it is “committed to supporting Brendan through his recovery process and to ensure his long-term health and well-being.” Texas Tech said it would have no further comment on Sorsby’s status.
Sorsby, a Lake Dallas product, was one of the top-ranked players in the transfer portal last winter after posting 2,800 yards and 27 touchdowns last season at Cincinnati. He chose to sign with Texas Tech over an offer from LSU.
