Former IU QB Brendan Sorsby gets injunction vs. NCAA and could play for Texas Tech after gambling ineligibility
A judge granted a temporary injunction to former Indiana quarterback Brendan Sorsby, allowing him to play for Texas Tech despite NCAA gambling ineligibility.Summary
Former Indiana quarterback Brendan Sorsby has been granted a temporary injunction against the NCAA, clearing the way for him to play for Texas Tech this fall. The ruling by Judge Ken Curry immediately prevents the NCAA from blocking Sorsby's eligibility for his final college season, though he will still miss the Red Raiders' first two games. The NCAA strongly disagrees with the ruling, stating it undermines the integrity of sports. Sorsby, who has acknowledged making thousands of impermissible bets totaling at least $90,000, must continue clinical counseling and peer support as part of the injunction's conditions. Texas Tech athletic director Kirby Hocutt emphasized the school's commitment to supporting Sorsby's recovery and compliance with the court's order. The injunction comes after a lawsuit filed by Sorsby's attorneys, who argued that preventing him from playing would cause irreparable harm to his mental health and recovery progress. The NCAA has stated it is committed to student-athlete mental health but must defend against actions that threaten competitive integrity.
