In court papers filed ahead of Brendan Sorsby's injunction hearing in Lubbock County District Court, the NCAA presented documents detailing the Texas Tech quarterback's gambling throughout his college playing career, totaling an approximate $90,000.
As Sorbsy's attorneys proffered in their filing, he placed 40 bets on Indiana football while a member of that team his first two seasons — one redshirt. The NCAA detailed that Sorsby also wagered $6,500 on other college football games and $1,400 on Indiana basketball.
After Sorsby transferred to Cincinnati, he placed over 500 bets, totaling $38,000, then made bets after he signed at Texas Tech, with Sorsby acknowledging in the paperwork that he knew gambling was against NCAA rules. Additionally, sports betting is illegal in Texas.
At each school, Sorsby sent money to proxies to place bets to avoid detection, with his gambling accounts in other people's names.
My take: He's toast. Now, who will take him in the supplemental draft? With this baggage, a team needing him now could probably get him for a sixth- or seventh-round bid.
