The Canadian Football League (CFL) has announced that it will not register a contract for quarterback Brendan Sorsby. This decision comes after Sorsby was suspended by the NCAA for placing bets on games and was denied entry into the NFL via the supplemental draft.
Background
Sorsby, 22, spent several weeks in a treatment facility for what he said was a gambling addiction. The NCAA declared Sorsby ineligible after an investigation revealed that the quarterback allegedly made thousands of bets, including using accounts in other names, at a cost of more than $90,000 during his college career.
The CFL stated that upholding the integrity of the league and ensuring fair competition are paramount, and that the allegations involving Sorsby are serious and concerning. As a result, no team will be permitted to add him to its negotiation list.
