Brendan Sorsby Admitted 9,000 Bets, But His Agent Says Cincinnati Knew It All Along
Hold up, Seattle. You gotta hear this wild mess unfolding in college football, and honestly, it's making my head spin. Brendan Sorsby, the dude who just transferred to Texas Tech, is in a full-blown war with his old school, Cincinnati. We're talking his agent dropping bombs, Cincy firing back, and Sorsby himself admitting to an insane number of bets. Like, NINE THOUSAND. Yep, you read that right. And now, Cincy is suing him for over a million bucks for breach of contract after he left. This ain't your grandma's bingo night, folks, this is a full-on scandal!
The Agent's Bombshell and Cincy's Hard Denial
So, what set this whole thing off? It started with Ron Slavin, Sorsby's agent, going on Dallas radio, 105.3 The Fan, and absolutely torching Cincinnati. Slavin claims the school *knew* about Sorsby's gambling for two whole years, saying they should be "questioned or catching heat" because they "never said anything." Can you believe that? Two years! But Cincy, naturally, is pushing back HARD. They put out a statement this week saying, flat out, they would "never knowingly play an athlete who violated NCAA sports wagering regulations." They also insist all their student-athletes get "extensive gambling education multiple times throughout the year" and they'd always report impermissible wagering to the NCAA.

Cincinnati even mentioned they use a technology called Prohibet to keep an eye on betting. They said they got alerts on six active student-athletes between January 2024 and February 2026, but none of those were for impermissible wagering, and none of those six had more than one alert. This is Cincy doubling down, but Slavin's claims are still out there, making everyone wonder what really went down.
Sorsby's 9,000 Bets and a Million-Dollar Lawsuit
But here's where it gets even crazier, if that's possible. Brendan Sorsby himself admitted to placing *over 9,000 bets* in the last four years! Nine thousand! That's not just a casual weekend flutter, that's a full-time job. He even bet on Indiana, his previous school, back in 2022 and 2023 when he was a reserve there. The guy was at Cincinnati for two seasons, starting in 2024. Documents show Cincy *was* alerted to his activity on the daily fantasy site PrizePicks back on August 19, 2024. They questioned him, and he told them he was denied access and hadn't placed any wagers. They gave him some wagering education, and boom, case closed. Or so they thought!
Now, after Sorsby transferred to Texas Tech this offseason, Cincinnati isn't playing nice. They're suing him for breach of contract, claiming over a million dollars in damages from his transfer. A million dollars! This isn't just a slap on the wrist, it's a full-blown legal battle.
This whole saga is just getting started, and you can bet, pun intended, we'll be following every twist and turn. With Sorsby admitting to thousands of bets, his agent pointing fingers, and Cincinnati throwing a million-dollar lawsuit his way, the stakes couldn't be higher. Who's telling the full truth? What does this mean for athletes and gambling monitoring going forward? The Emerald City is watching this one closely, folks. Keep it locked on Seattle On Tap for the latest as this wild story unfolds. It's gonna be a bumpy ride.
