Texas Tech · Indiana · Cincinnati

“Just for my coaches and teammates and those guys, and then all the backlash that we faced — they’re having to face all the scrutiny and backlash as well.” Brendan Sorsby sat down for the interview in July after parting ways with Texas Tech.

“I gambled all throughout my time at Indiana , pretty much all throughout my time at Cincinnati ,” Sorsby said. “Made some mistakes, though, especially early on betting on my own team, which obviously everybody knows.

Whenever I’d gotten to Tech, same deal. Making more money than I ever made in my life, no reason at all to gamble, and yet I still did it.”

Sorsby entered a gambling addiction treatment program in Arizona back in April. [ $19.99 gets you a FULL year of On3 | Rivals national coverage ]
