Brendan Sorsby's lawyer argued last Monday that the NCAA should have reinstated the Texas Tech quarterback to play this upcoming season due to his rampant gambling being tied to a mental health disorder.

The squabble between both sides had been ongoing since the NCAA was alerted that Sorsby had placed numerous bets on his own football team while enrolled at Indiana, starting with the 2022 season, along with thousands of other wagers on different sports.

On Monday, Judge Ken Curry ruled that the case attorney Jeffrey Kessler presented was enough for Sorsby to be granted a temporary injunction by the court.

"The Court finds that applicant has demonstrated that he will suffer a probable, imminent, and irreparable injury if this court does not issue the temporary injunction because he will be unable to participate as a member of Texas Tech University's 2026 football team, including Texas Tech's 2026 football season," Judge Curry wrote.

No one will be charged. No one will be tried. No one will be convicted. No one will be sentenced.

Do you know that, because there is no law violation involved, you are quite correct?

Will he be allowed to compete? The court is opening a can of worms if so.
