My wife does not follow sports but every now and again sees headlines. She thinks that even if UC is innocent, Sorsby will try to throw them under the bus to save his own career.

Thing is, he bet on Indiana when he played at Indiana. That alone may be enough to end his career.

Exactly my point. This seems too coincidental to take at face value.

Golly, sarge. I mean if it’s written then it must be true. 🙄

Yes, I read that. I’m not sure if what is written is actually true considering the circumstances.

Two people with direct knowledge, not you or me.

First paragraph of the article.
“The Cincinnati athletic department was alerted in August that star quarterback Brendan Sorsby was gambling prior to the start of the 2025 season, two people with direct knowledge of the situation told USA TODAY Sports on Monday.”

Is it true that UC was informed? I don’t know but the timing makes me doubt it. Sorsby was caught, enters rehab, files a MTD all on the same day. Then UC suddenly knows about his gambling? Coincidence or misdirection?

Whatever, this looks bad. It’s unclear who notified UC, was it the league?

The same article was on the Enquirer's website today. Still suspicious of the timing of all of this, especially in light of the MTD filed yesterday on behalf of Sorsby.

And there it is. UC knew.

I don’t know if UC had knowledge of Sorsby’s gambling. But, I find the timing odd of Sorsby entering the rehab, the counter reports that UC knew of his gambling and the motion to dismiss the lawsuit UC filed against Sorsby for the $1M.

It was just a couple of years ago that a UC BB player's father was arrested for gambling with "inside" knowledge (but not on a UC game). He was trying to place a bet down at the Reds' gambling facility. The bet was on a mid-week game that was so outrageous that it drew attention of the gambling company, the company's security, and eventually law enforcement. All this to say, two UC assistant baseball coaches were fired because they had "knowledge" of the father's betting.

So, I would think some seats in the UC Athletics department ought to be heating up over this.

Where is Cody Campbell when you need him?

There hasn't been any proof that he was betting on UC games. I hope that he was not. However, when he was a non-starter at IU, he did bet on IU games. Does anyone remember tosu's Art Schlichter? His gambling was the total end of his career.

as was the UK scandal of the 50s and boston College's of the 80s.
