The Cincinnati Bearcats may be wrapped up in the Brendan Sorsby scandal, one that could threaten the quarterbackâs season with the Texas Tech Red Raiders, in a big way. Sorsby was confirmed to have been betting on games while with the Indiana Hoosiers early in his career, and on IU games. Thereâs no concrete information that he bet on UC during his time in the Queen City. Investigation is ongoing, though.
USA Todayâs Blake Toppmeyer believes both parties should be punished if anyone in the Bearcats football program knew what he was doing. Per Toppmeyer, âIf Cincinnati knew about Sorsbyâs activity and turned a blind eye to it, the institution should face penalty. So, too, should Sorsby. Heâs not the victim of this story ⊠But, make no mistake, if Sorsby bet on sports, he broke the NCAAâs rules, and no matter the temptation, nobodyâs more responsible for that rule-violating behavior than Sorsby himself.â
