Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby was caught betting on college football games for years. He was even caught betting on, and in some instances, against his team when he was a backup at Indiana.
This has never been allowed since organized sports have been played at the collegiate level. This left the NCAA with no choice but to ban him, but a Lubbock court full of Texas Tech alums somehow granted him an injunction which will allow him to play football for Texas Tech this year.
This decision was the final straw for Georgia who announced Monday that they will not be playing Texas Tech in any sport for the foreseeable future.
“Based on recent developments, Georgia Athletics will not schedule future contests against Texas Tech until further notice,” Georgia compliance director Will Lawler said in a release via nytimes.com. “Please review your sport’s current schedules and future scheduling plans. If you have any contests currently scheduled against Texas Tech, or are actively engaged in scheduling discussions with Texas Tech, please notify your sports administrator as soon as possible so we can evaluate the situation and determine next steps.”
Result of Brendan Sorsby gambling case has led Georgia to make a drastic decision
Sorsby was one of the top Transfer Portal quarterbacks this offseason. He spent a few years at Indiana and Cincinnati, and after a great 2025 season at Cincinnati he hit the portal and transferred to Texas Tech in hopes of competing for a championship. Soon after he transferred reports quickly spread of the countless bets he placed on college football games.
This included games his team was playing in with some instances of bets being placed on his team and teammates performing poorly.
Fans can have their opinions on if he should be allowed to play or not, but there isn't anything Georgia can do to impact that situation. The only thing they can do is refuse to play Texas Tech in any sport, and that is exactly what they announced on Monday.
It's worth mentioning that Nebraska made the same announcement as Georgia on Monday as well.
Georgia does not have Texas Tech on any of their future football schedules. The few fall sports that have released their schedules for the upcoming season do not have Texas Tech on them either. There is a chance though that a sports team has been in talks with Texas Tech about scheduling a game or have them scheduled and just not announced it yet, and if that's the case they are being told to cancel all games and end all discussions.
Georgia is drawing a firm line in the sand that they will not play against a university that allows a player to play after breaking one of the oldest rules in athletics. People can decide for themselves if that's the right thing to do or not, but Georgia is making it clear that they do not agree with Sorsby playing and they are taking it out on Texas Tech as a whole.
