This is the easiest call in sports: Brendan Sorsby shouldn’t play | Opinion 03.06.2026

USA Today

Brendan Sorsby, a quarterback for Texas Tech, has admitted to placing thousands of sports bets, including on college football games, violating NCAA rules. Despite being diagnosed with a gambling addiction and an anxiety disorder, the NCAA ruled him ineligible. Sorsby is now seeking an injunction from a Texas judge to allow him to play this season. The author argues that this is an "open-and-shut case" and the judge should deny the injunction, emphasizing that allowing Sorsby to play would undermine the integrity of NCAA rules and send a message that such violations are permissible if addiction is cited. The article notes Sorsby used proxies for some bets and sought rehab after an investigation, but maintains that his explanation is not a free pass to continue playing college football.
