NCAA clears University of Cincinnati in Brendan Sorsby inquiry
The NCAA closed its gambling inquiry into former Cincinnati QB Brendan Sorsby, assigning all penalties to him and clearing the university.Summary
The NCAA has closed its inquiry into former University of Cincinnati quarterback Brendan Sorsby's gambling activity, finding he committed a Level III violation, which is isolated and limited. All penalties are attached solely to Sorsby, not to the University of Cincinnati or its staff. The investigation began in early July during Big 12 Media Day and concluded by September 2. Evidence showed Sorsby attempted to access a prediction market app on his phone while at Cincinnati but was denied access by compliance. After transferring to Texas Tech, Sorsby entered a gambling addiction clinic, leading to NCAA ineligibility and subsequent legal and conference rulings that ultimately sidelined him. The NFL also decided against holding a supplemental draft. The case is now closed with no institutional punishment for Cincinnati.
