Texas Tech QB Brendan Sorsby files lawsuit vs. NCAA in attempt to play in 2026

Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby filed a lawsuit against the NCAA on Monday, May 26, 2026, seeking to restore his eligibility for the 2026 college football season. Sorsby, a transfer from Cincinnati, faces a potential permanent ban after admitting he violated NCAA gambling rules, including placing a bet on Indiana while he was a redshirt freshman for the Hoosiers in 2022. The lawsuit acknowledges he is currently ineligible and that he has made thousands of small-dollar bets, while also noting he has been seeking treatment for a gambling addiction.
