Texas Tech defends playing QB Brendan Sorsby amid gambling addiction, says ‘it’s not murder’

Texas Tech defends quarterback Brendan Sorsby's participation amid his gambling addiction, citing his legal right to challenge NCAA rules and his ongoing recovery. The NCAA plans to appeal a court order allowing Sorsby to play after a two-game suspension, with critics arguing it undermines gambling bans in college sports. Texas Tech coach Joey McGuire compared Sorsby's recovery to another player's injury rehabilitation.
