Brendan Sorsby, a college quarterback, plans to work out for NFL teams before the supplemental draft after ending a legal battle to keep his college eligibility. Sorsby admitted to making impermissible bets while playing college football, which led to the NCAA declaring him permanently ineligible. He intends to hold a pro day on July 10 in the Dallas area. The supplemental draft, rarely used, requires players to be ineligible for NCAA play. Sorsby, originally from Dallas, played at Indiana, Cincinnati, and transferred to Texas Tech. His eligibility was temporarily restored by a Texas court, but he must be declared ineligible again to enter the draft. The NCAA found he placed thousands of bets, including on Indiana games during his freshman year, though not on games he played in.
QUESTION: How might Sorsby’s situation influence future NCAA policies on gambling and athlete eligibility?
