What happened
Texas Tech transfer quarterback Brendan Sorsby is checking into a residential treatment program for a gambling addiction, sources told ESPN's Pete Thamel. He is under NCAA investigation after making thousands of bets via a gambling app. Sources indicate Sorsby bet on Indiana football while redshirting there as a true freshman in 2022.
Why it matters
The investigation threatens Sorsby's eligibility for Texas Tech ahead of the 2026 season. It underscores rising gambling issues among college athletes. Texas Tech recently lost draft picks like DE David Bailey and LB Jacob Rodriguez, heightening roster needs.
