made at least 40 bets<\/a> involving Indiana football while he played for the Hoosiers.<\/p>\nThe bets were placed on the team\u2019s performance and\/or the performance of individual players. They ranged from $1 to $114, with a total of at least $850. He didn\u2019t play in any of the Indiana games on which he bet.<\/p>\n
Sorsby also used accounts in his name, a family member\u2019s name, and friends\u2019 names to make at least $90,000 in bets during his four years at Indiana (2022-23) and Cincinnati (2024-25). He transferred at least $60,000 to cover bets made for him by friends.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt became a habit for me to bet,\u201d Sorsby wrote in a statement to the NCAA. \u201cMy betting became a compulsion which made it virtually impossible to resist the constant notifications I received from betting apps. I lost complete control of my addiction. I now realize the apps controlled me and I did not control them.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sorsby also said that he \u201cnever bet to make money.\u201d <\/p>\n
\u201cGiven the money I had and earned from NIL, the total amount of money I made from 2022 to 2025 was not a big deal to me,\u201d Sorsby wrote to the NCAA. \u201cI never kept track of my betting over time, but I\u2019m pretty sure I lost more than I won.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sorsby\u2019s case is set for a June 1 hearing. He has until June 22 to apply for the NFL\u2019s supplemental draft.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"More details are emerging regarding Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby\u2019s gambling habits, via documents filed in connection with…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":673297,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[67],"tags":[399,398,396,397,99],"class_list":["post-673296","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-ncaa-football","tag-football","tag-ncaa","tag-ncaa-football","tag-ncaafootball","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/673296","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=673296"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/673296\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/673297"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=673296"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=673296"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=673296"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
