Brendan Sorsby college gambling scandal

Overview

Former college football quarterback Brendan Sorsby was found to have placed more than 9,000 wagers totaling at least $90,000 during his collegiate career at Indiana, Cincinnati, and Texas Tech. In a documentary series, Sorsby expressed “a ton of regret” regarding the scandal, attributing his actions to a gambling addiction and a desire for a “dopamine hit.”

While Sorsby briefly regained eligibility through a Texas state court ruling, the NCAA ultimately ruled him permanently ineligible. The NCAA concluded its investigation by clearing the University of Cincinnati of wrongdoing, classifying Sorsby’s actions as a Level III violation. Consequently, all penalties are attached solely to the athlete rather than the institutions, coaches, or staff. Although Sorsby was denied entry into the NFL this year, he remains eligible for the 2027 draft.
