Ron Slavin Dropped a Bomb: Cincinnati Knew For Two Years About Sorsby's Gambling, and the League Is Watching

Alright, folks, if you thought the Brendan Sorsby gambling saga was starting to fade, think again. This thing just blew wide open! After a month of craziness surrounding Sorsby's alleged thousands of bets totaling $90,000 across four years, the focus is now squarely on Cincinnati. We've been hearing about Texas Tech and Indiana, but NBC's Mike Florio has been questioning the Bearcats' role. And now, Sorsby's agent, Ron Slavin, just hit us with a bombshell that could unravel everything.

Florio Asked the Million-Dollar Question

Remember when everyone was pointing fingers at Texas Tech because Sorsby was a Red Raider, or Indiana because he placed 40 bets on their games while on their roster? Florio for NBC Sports on Friday was like, "Hold up, what about Cincinnati?" He argued that the Bearcats have flown under the radar, and their handling of this whole mess needs a serious look. The man basically dropped a rhetorical bomb: "What did Cincinnati know, and when did Cincinnati know it?" Florio isn't messing around, suggesting that if Cincy truly has nothing to hide, they should welcome the chance to prove they didn't let Sorsby play when he'd already lost his NCAA eligibility. This isn't just about one player anymore, it's about whether the NCAA is truly committed to upholding the "integrity of sports" by diving

Sorsby's Agent Spills the Tea: TWO YEARS?!

As if Florio's questions weren't enough, Brendan Sorsby's agent, Ron Slavin, went on 105.3 The Fan in Dallas on Thursday and absolutely let it rip. According to Slavin, Cincinnati was aware of Sorsby's gambling habits. And get this: he claimed they knew for *two whole years* and "never said anything and didn't do anything about it." Slavin thinks Cincinnati is the one who "should be questioned or to catch some heat" because that's the part of the story "that gets lost." Can you believe that? Two years of silence, if Slavin is right! Cincinnati, of course, fired back with an official statement, denying any knowledge. They said they would "report to the NCAA and comply with sanctions" if they ever knew about impermissible wagering. They also stated their student-athletes "receive extensive gambling education" and they'd never knowingly play an athlete violating NCAA rules. So where does this leave us? Sorsby's legal drama saw him get an injunction, then declare for the Supplemental Draft after the Big 12 intervened. But now, with Florio and Slavin shining a spotlight on Cincinnati, the stakes are through the roof. This isn't just about one player's eligibility anymore. This is about what schools know, what they choose to hide, and whether the NCAA has the guts to follow this story wherever it leads. You know we'll be watching every single move.
