NCAA clears Cincinnati in Brendan Sorsby gambling probe

usnews.com

The NCAA has cleared the University of Cincinnati of wrongdoing in its investigation into former quarterback Brendan Sorsby's gambling activity, attributing the violation solely to the athlete. Sorsby was ruled permanently ineligible in April for placing thousands of impermissible bets while at Indiana and Cincinnati. The NCAA found he committed a Level III violation, and Cincinnati cooperated fully with the inquiry, which began after initial reports of wagering emerged. Sorsby transferred to Texas Tech after the 2025 season, where he passed for 2,800 yards and 27 touchdowns. Cincinnati still faces a pending federal lawsuit against him for allegedly breaching his name, image and likeness contract.
