NCAA Clears University of Cincinnati of Wrongdoing in Brendan Sorsby Gambling Investigation
Anonymous
The NCAA cleared the University of Cincinnati of wrongdoing in its investigation into former quarterback Brendan Sorsby's gambling activities, according to WRAL. Sorsby, who played for the Bearcats in the 2024 and 2025 seasons before transferring to Texas Tech, was found to have placed at least $90,000 in impermissible sports bets over four years. The NCAA ruled him permanently ineligible but assigned all violations to Sorsby alone—not to Cincinnati's coaching staff or athletic department.
Sorsby Bet Thousands Over Four Years
Sorsby placed impermissible sports bets totaling at least $90,000 during his college career, according to Yahoo Sports. The NCAA investigation into the former Bearcats quarterback ran for several months before concluding in April. The violations were classified as Level III violations, which are the least serious category under NCAA rules. Sorsby's permanent ineligibility means he cannot compete in college sports again.
Cincinnati Clears Coaching Staff and Athletic Department
The NCAA found no institutional violations by Cincinnati's coaching staff or athletic department, Yahoo Sports reported. A university spokesman confirmed that the inquiry is now closed. Cincinnati worked closely with the NCAA throughout the investigation process, which helped establish that the violations were isolated to Sorsby's personal conduct. The university's cooperation appears to have been key to the quick resolution.
Sorsby Faces Separate Legal Battle With Cincinnati
While the NCAA investigation is over, Sorsby still faces a pending federal lawsuit filed by the University of Cincinnati. The school is suing him for breaching his name, image and likeness (NIL) contract after he transferred to Texas Tech. NIL deals allow athletes to earn money from endorsements and sponsorships. The lawsuit is separate from the NCAA gambling case and remains unresolved.
