Brendan Sorsby, the 22-year-old quarterback of Texas Tech football, is set to leave the program due to his gambling addiction. The program announced that Sorsby will be admitted to a facility for treatment.
ESPN reports that Sorsby is being investigated by the NCAA over thousands of bets he placed on multiple sporting events over the last three years.
The NCAA has not clarified the exact nature of the charges against Sorsby, citing confidentiality over the ongoing investigation.
As the NCAA enforces strict gambling rules, Sorsby may face a tough road to regain eligibility, with ESPN's Peter Thamel saying he will have to face 'great odds'.
