In college football news that was equally stunning and not surprising, a Lubbock County judge on Monday awarded an injunction to Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby, granting him eligibility and in essence, allowing him to take the field for the Red Raiders in 2026.
Sorsby’s status was previously in doubt after allegations of gambling during his two seasons at Indiana came to light. Sorsby, who was a high-priced transfer to Texas Tech, was deemed ineligible after an NCAA investigation uncovered 40 bets involving Indiana football and roughly $90,000 in wagers across a four-year span. But Sorsby, in an attempt to bypass the NCAA’s bylaws on gambling, filed a lawsuit against the organization, which he has now won thanks to judge Ken Curry’s ruling that Sorsby’s attorneys demonstrated he will suffer a “probable, imminent and irreparable injury” if he was unable to play for Texas Tech in 2026.
