AsJonathan Jones of CBS Sports notes, there’s still no guarantee that Sorsby’s application is approved, especially as the legal process continues to play out.Senior NFL reporter Charles Robinson also recently mentionedthat the NFL could theoretically deny th…

NCAA asks court for ruling on Texas Tech's Sorsby before season - ESPN The NCAA said a district judge overstepped in grantingTexas TechquarterbackBrendan Sorsbya temporary injunction allowing him to return to college football and is asking an appeals court for an expedited resolution before the season kicks off, according to legal documents filed Monday in Lubbock County District Court. Under Judge Ken Curry's ruling, Sorsby, who has admitted to betting on college football, could play for Texas Tech after sitting out the first two games of the season.
