NCAA Denies Sorsby's Request for Reinstatement

Lawyers representing the NCAA and Texas Tech QB Brendan Sorsby will convene in court on Monday to argue whether his eligibility should be reinstated following allegations of betting on games he played.

The NCAA's legal brief argues that permitting Sorsby to compete would make it the first major sports league in America to allow an athlete to bet on his own games.

Sorsby admitted to betting on Indiana football while there, though he didn't play in the specific games wagered upon. The NCAA acknowledges his gambling addiction but maintains that the condition does not excuse the rule violations, noting he used intermediaries to place the wagers. forestarrow.help
