Key Points:
- Former University of Cincinnati quarterback Brendan Sorsby is seeking treatment for a gambling addiction after it was discovered he made thousands of online bets on various sports via a gambling app.
- The NCAA is investigating Sorsby's gambling activity, which includes bets placed while he was a redshirt freshman at Indiana in 2022, potentially jeopardizing his eligibility for the upcoming season.
- Sorsby's gambling involved small, frequent bets, including live wagers at Cincinnati Reds games, but has not attracted law enforcement attention or links to game-fixing.
- His gambling issue is being treated as a mental health matter, with no set timeline for treatment, amid ongoing legal disputes including a $1 million breach of contract lawsuit filed by Cincinnati.
- Sorsby transferred from Cincinnati to Texas Tech in January after two productive seasons with the Bearcats, where he threw 45 touchdowns and over 2,800 passing yards each year.
