A Texas court ruled that Brendan Sorsby can play for Texas Tech, after the NCAA barred him for gambling.
A Texas state court ruled Monday that Brendan Sorsby—the Texas Tech University quarterback whom the NCAA blocked from playing for placing bets, including on his own team—will be eligible to play next season, The Athletic reported.
Ken Curry, a judge for the 99th District Court in Lubbock County, Texas, issued a temporary injunction against the NCAA’s decision, ruling that if Sorsby can’t play football, “he will suffer a probable, imminent and irreparable injury” because he would, The Athletic reported, “miss out on coaching, camaraderie and training and wouldn’t be able to build necessary skills to help himself and Texas Tech’s team.”
Curry ruled that Sorsby should serve a two-game suspension, returning in time for his team's Big 12 opener against the University of Houston on Sept. 18.
