Brendan Sorsby agent claims Cincinnati knew about gambling addiction, did nothing

Key Points:

• Texas Tech's former quarterback Brendan Sorsby admitted to a gambling addiction and betting on his own games, leading to significant offseason backlash for the program despite a judge initially ruling him eligible.
• Sorsby's agent, Ron Slavin, shifted blame onto Cincinnati, claiming the Bearcats knew about Sorsby's gambling issues for two years but failed to take action.
• Cincinnati responded by emphasizing their strict gambling education policies and denying knowingly playing athletes who violate NCAA wagering rules, stating they would report any violations to the NCAA.
• Despite being aware of Sorsby's gambling habits since August 2025, Cincinnati allowed him to play the entire season, during which he posted strong statistics and contributed to a 7-6 team record.
• Sorsby chose to leave college football to enter the 2026 NFL Supplemental Draft, foregoing another year at Texas Tech, which had hoped he would elevate their program after a conference championship and CFP appearance.
