According to Ross Dellenger of Yahoo Sports, attorneys for former Cincinnati Bearcats quarterback Brendan Sorsby, now of Texas Tech, have asked the NCAA for an "expedited resolution" to reinstating his eligibility. Attorneys representing Texas Tech QB Brendan Sorsby have notified the NCAA with a request for an expedited resolution to reinstating his eligibility over sports gambling allegations and informing the association that a legal challenge is imminent, sources tell @YahooSports . — Ross Dellenger (@RossDellenger) May 15, 2026 Sorsby has technically not been ruled ineligible yet by the NCAA over sports gambling allegations, but the Yahoo report says his legal team has said a legal challenge is imminent.

Reached by The Enquirer, Sorsby's latest attorney, Jeffrey Kessler , said, "I have no comment on that. " Ten days after playing in Texas Tech's spring game and two days after appearing at a Pro Camps event for kids in Lubbock , Sorsby checked into a residential gambling addiction facility . The initial report by Pete Thamel of ESPN referred to "thousands of online bets' and that while Sorsby was at Indiana in 2022, before his time at UC, he bet on the Hoosiers to win.

He only played in one game that season. When initially reached, current Bearcats head coach Scott Satterfield had not heard of the gambling report on Sorsby. The same day, Sorsby's local attorney, Joe Braun of Strauss Troy, had filed a motion to dismiss the matter of UC's "buyout clause," asking for $1 million for his departure to Texas Tech.

UC was not going to enforce the clause had he gone to the NFL; instead, he opted for Texas Tech Jan. 4. Did UC know of Sorsby's gambling?
