Sorsby also has a court hearing scheduled in Lubbock County District Court next Monday on his request for a temporary injunction that would allow him to play for the Red Raiders this season.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe believe that given the facts and the context of Brendan\u2019s case, the NCAA\u2019s ruling should be reversed or modified,\u201d Schovanec wrote. \u201cAs a generation of college athletes face the legalization and rapid proliferation of sports betting in our country, gambling addiction is rising to the point of epidemic among college aged men in particular.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sorsby was one of the top players to enter the transfer portal after last season. At stake is the multimillion-dollar deal he signed with Texas Tech for what was supposed to be his final season of college football.<\/p>\n<p>Schovanec noted the NCAA\u2019s state mission includes the lifelong well-being of athletes and to promote a \u201cculture of care\u201d for their mental health.<\/p>\n<p>Schovanec said Sorsby last week completed an inpatient gambling addiction treatment program and is preparing to return to campus.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/raleighmovingnews.com\/?p=1530\">Coco Gauff involved in \u2018mini car accident\u2019 on her way to French Open match, still gets win<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cBrendan himself has been open about his struggle with severe gambling addiction, and we believe his vulnerability deserves to be met with the full weight of this institution\u2019s support,\u201d Schovanec wrote. \u201cOur foremost priority in contemplating Brendan\u2019s future with Texas Tech is his continued health and well-being.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In his lawsuit seeking an injunction, Sorsby acknowledged that in his first year at Indiana, he wagered between $5 and $50 on the Hoosiers football team to win and made prop bets on teammates to exceed statistical predictions. He said he did not bet on the one game in which he played. Sorsby said he never bet on a game involving Cincinnati after he transferred there in 2024, but he continued to bet on other sports.<\/p>\n<p>According to Schovanec, Sorsby will receive ongoing treatment, monitoring and support at the school. He will receive outpatient clinical care, participation in group and individual therapy, mentor resources, treatment for his related anxiety disorder and active monitoring of his technological devices. He also will have a custodian to oversee his personal finances and and periodic compliance checks. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is not a symbolic commitment,\u201d Schovanec wrote. \u201cEach element reflects our conviction, and Brendan\u2019s, that nothing matters more right now than his continued recovery. It is our duty to provide that support and that is support we are uniquely well-positioned to provide.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>___<\/p>\n<p>AP college football: https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/ap-top-25-college-football-poll and https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/college-football<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/raleighmovingnews.com\/?p=1528\">Tampa Bay Rays sign veteran reliever Craig Kimbrel to shore up bullpen<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) \u2014 Texas Tech announced Tuesday the NCAA has denied the school\u2019s petition&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1533,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1534","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
