NCAA denies Texas Tech QB Brendan Sorsby's petition for eligibility reinstatement‎

Texas Tech announced Tuesday the NCAA has denied the school's petition to have quarterback Brendan Sorsby's eligibility reinstated after he acknowledged wagering on sports, including on his own team when he was a freshman. University president Lawrence Schovanec wrote in a letter to the Texas Tech community that the school would appeal the ruling. “We believe that given the facts and the context of Brendan’s case, the NCAA’s ruling should be reversed or modified,” Schovanec wrote.
