Transfer quarterback Brendan Sorsby won't play for Texas Tech this fall after all. He is instead planning to enter the NFL supplemental draft. That will end an unprecedented legal fight over the college eligibility of a player who had acknowledged betting on college and pro sports, including some wagers on his own team while a freshman at Indiana four years ago. The decision Monday by Sorsby came exactly one week before the deadline to apply for the NFL supplemental draft. It also came on the same day the NCAA and Big 12 Conference had filings in different courts challenging a temporary injunction that cleared the way for Sorsby to play for Texas Tech despite being declared ineligible.

Texas Tech transfer quarterback Brendan Sorsby has won a temporary injunction against the NCAA. He is still eligible to play after he acknowledging thousands of impermissible bets. Some were on his own team when he was a freshman at Indiana. That order Monday from a judge in Texas sent shockwaves through college sports since one of the NCAA’s foundational rules is the ability to ban players for gambling. The NCAA has twice denied Texas Tech’s petition to have Sorsby’s eligibility restored. Now the organization is appealing the injunction that came after the quarterback filed a lawsuit.
