And yet Pete Rose continues to be banned for life.

Texas Tech trying to go down in flames
It's unfortunately the reality and is extremely common. The majority of these football players are only betting on the big games, which is definitely a slippery slopeI would hope not. IMO I think it’s fine if they’re gambling on other sports and not CFB. Like when it came out Sorsby was gambling on MLB pitches, who cares right? It’s the CFB stuff that is concerning
He must be dumb as a box of rocks. This will follow him through life. Hope it was worth it.Brendan Sorsby committed multiple crimes while gambling throughout the course of his college career
Underage Gambling
The legal sports betting age in both Indiana and Ohio is 21.
Sorsby didn’t turn 21 until January 2025, meaning the thousands of wagers reportedly placed during his time at Indiana (2022–23) and early at Cincinnati (2024) would have occurred while under 21.
Illegal Sports Wagering & Use of Others’ Accounts
According to filings, after transferring to Texas Tech, Sorsby allegedly sent roughly $5,000 to out-of-state proxies to place bets on his behalf while physically located in Texas, where online sports betting remains illegal.
This is a federal crime.
The filings also state he funneled more than $60,000 through a FanDuel account registered under a friend’s name and used accounts belonging to family members. Those actions allegedly bypassed age restrictions.
Yet despite all of this, he’s eligible to play.
Whether or not you think people are being holier than thou is irrelevant. This dumbass willfully, intentionally, and knowingly broke the 1 rule that says "if you do this you do this, you are gone forever!". He didn't just do that once. He did it literally thousands of times. He should 1000% never be allowed to play college football again because of those literal thousands of actions.I am in agreement with @Alex_Dynamix -- lots of faux outrage. I wasn't happy about those INTs either way. Is there any evidence showing anything about his game play? There are video after video after video of the pitchers throwing games, but even with all the outrage, I am not seeing that Sorsby breakdown. Lots of holier than thou comments related to this.
Icarus StrategyWell, it looks like TTU is willing to go all the way to its logical conclusion.
The implosion of collegiate athletics.
This one?Go back and watch this dude's 20+ incompletion game last season. His erratic nature is on full display.

yes but who we wanted at one point and who still has some nfl scouts giving him possible first round gradesA lot of bluster for a run of the mill QB that has one career win after November
Spread opened at Utah -5.5. Per Fanduel 85% of the action was on Cincinnati yet the line moved to Utah -11.5 by kickoff.Go back and watch this dude's 20+ incompletion game last season. His erratic nature is on full display.
Someone on a pod (Donno?) said he was also taking the under while at IU. While that's not technically betting against his team, it sort of is, no?ohhh yeah thats wild i thought i read somewhere he only placed bets on them to win

I remember I really liked him as portal QB but that yearly Nov. Swoon, christmas coming up and having to pay bookie must have been serioussssss..Go back and watch this dude's 20+ incompletion game last season. His erratic nature is on full display.
id love for them to sue their own conference. do it lol. the CFP will not rank TTU and theyre gonna sue the CFP now? lolGreat.
The entire future of college football will be decided by a couple of retired county judges in ****holesville, Texas.
LOL take this clown in the first round and **** flame out.yes but who we wanted at one point and who still has some nfl scouts giving him possible first round grades
he did it on friends accounts family accounts and his own accounts. they all get caught if theyre doing it though. the NBA players got caught. NFL players got caught. NCAA players got caught.Yep its Naive to think Sorsby is some rare outlier, most of these kids are gambilng they just aint dumb enough to do the shady **** on their own accounts
