  • This is probably what he meant. I'd guess the full extent for Sorsby's gambling was not known to UC though https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaaf/2026/04/27/brendan-sorsby-gambling-cincinnati-ncaa-violation/89829187007/

  • According to ESPN and the University of Cincinnati they were informed of his gambling on August 19, 2024. They gave him “sports wagering education” compliance. He then went on to play the full season and they never self reported or reprimanded...
  • This is cute and all but it overlooks what people are actually angry about. Regardless of what the ncaa can or cannot compel TTU to punish Sorsby, TTU has the option to either play an athlete who gambled on his own team, or to not play an athlete...
  • >Sorsby tried to place a bet and was prevented via Prohibet notification to the University of Cincinnati. This still doesn't answer the question as to why Sorsby wasn't immediately thrown off the team. Hasn't the issue at the heart of this whole...

  • Sorsby actually gambled on CFB games while at Indiana and played at Indiana, Indiana believes themselves to be righteous. Sorsby never actually gambled on CFB games while at Texas Tech and never played at Texas Tech, "Texas Tech commited war...

  • I understand that Sorsby should be the main target of frustration and animosity from CFB fans because this is all from his own actions. But if Cincinnati gets zero punishment after what the entire big 12 and college football world were just trying...

  • Do you think Cinci should be held accountable then? They found the app on Sorsby phone then just took his word for it "have never placed a wager". Right...
