NCAA rules on Brendan Sorsby per ESPN

[TexTheHorn24]

I mean how does the NCAA not investigate Tx Tech at this point after these comments and actions. Did they intentionally try to cover up their acquisition of someone who bet on his own team (the Pete rose sin), and now is the institution trying to circumvent the NCAA on protecting the literal integrity of sports? This is lowkey worse than what SMU did.

How would you feel if you learned that some Texas starting player had bet on that NC game against Alabama? Not good at all. This cannot be allowed to stand.

I guess all Pete Rose had to do was sue the MLB was banned for life for betting on games

I feel like you have to include IU AND Cincy in that too. There’s no way they didn’t know about this.
I agree it’s worse than SMU especially in the day and age of NIL and rev share. They broke the rules and deserved to be punished, but they weren’t the only ones doing exactly the same thing. Ahem, Miami, Florida State, OU, TAMU to name a few. 
This isn’t tampering or giving someone’s mom a house this is one individual who screwed up and Tech is willing to risk all credibility and integrity they have trying to get a player back that should be banned for life. 
It’s not about the kid at this point it’s about what their actions show the world and the other players. Take care of the kid if he’s really struggling that bad, but the best live and care is accountability for your actions. You committed a cardinal sin in sport, and you must suffer the consequences. At no point has anyone ever argued that the NCAA’s stanch on gambling is too harsh or antiquated.

The fact that he wants a zero penalty punishment is ridiculous.  

[davisxcole]

Genuinely if I was a Tech fan I would boycott/never root for Tech football after their statement today saying they’re going to appeal the decision. 
This dude bet on his own team, this is a absolute joke.

I’m going to laugh until I wet myself if IU and Cincinnati self-report, issue statements in support of the NCAA’s gambling bylaws, and pledge to cooperate with any NCAA investigation.

The lack of self awareness from those involved at Tech is insane. 

[AusMOJO]

Somehow Tech fans are going to blame Texas for this decision.

sorsby does the “I’m magically cured now” act to save face and try and keep his 5+ Million dollar deal

Not to pile on the guy, but you don't fix addiction in 30-40 days. I've seen it in my own life with people around me, they relapse all the time, have to fight the addiction daily, etc. He's just going to magically "heal" in a short time frame and then jump straight back into the beast with zero temptation? I don't think so.

Tech statement: https://www.ttu.edu/president/communications/2026/2026-05-26-statement-from-president-schovanec.php

 

President Schovanec, your letter does one thing with absolute clarity: it proves the NCAA was right.

You describe a quarterback who needs clinical care, digital monitoring, blocked gambling access, and financial supervision - and then you frame his ineligibility as some kind of injustice.

You didn’t argue against the ruling. You validated it.

Who would draft a player that bets on his OWN TEAM?

better than drafting a player that bet on the other team? 🤷‍♂️
