Brendan Sorsby, the Texas Tech quarterback, has dropped his lawsuit against the NCAA. This decision makes him ineligible to play, effectively ending his college career due to his involvement in gambling. The lawsuit was filed after the NCAA declared him ineligible for participating in thousands of impermissible bets while in college.
Background
Sorsby had been granted a temporary injunction by a Texas court on June 8, allowing him to play despite his admission of placing bets on his own team and other games. However, with the NFL’s supplemental draft submission deadline approaching, Sorsby has chosen to focus on his professional career instead.
The decision to drop the lawsuit was made in coordination with Texas Tech and Sorsby’s family, considering the ongoing legal process and the draft deadline. Sorsby plans to work out for NFL teams on July 10.
