Cincinnati coach Scott Satterfield suggests Texas Tech tampered with Brendan Sorsby
NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- Cincinnati coach Scott Satterfield accused Texas Tech of contacting quarterback Brendan Sorsby’s camp about transferring before the 2025 season ended, which would violate NCAA tampering rules; Texas Tech denies the claim through Sorsby’s agent.
- Satterfield acknowledged that tampering is widespread in college football’s NIL era, with agents typically handling communications between players and recruiting programs.
- The controversy arises amid an NCAA investigation into Cincinnati over Sorsby’s alleged gambling, which his agent claims the school knew about for two years, a claim Cincinnati denies.
- Satterfield stated Cincinnati was unaware of any illegal activity by Sorsby and would not have played him if they had known, while the NCAA may probe whether the school had a duty to investigate further.
