Shocking news dropped Monday when it was announced that Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby is taking an indefinite leave of absence from the team and entering rehab for a gambling addiction. Additionally, he is being investigated by the NCAA for gambling. Sorsby was one of the top quarterbacks in the transfer portal this offseason, and he transferred from Cincinnati to Texas Tech just months ago. Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey discuss the events that unfolded and where both Sorsby and Texas Tech go from here. What is Tech’s answer at quarterback? Will Sorsby play college football again? Does this jeopardize his chance at the NFL?

Then, the NCAA continues to pursue some rule changes that could go into effect as early as next year. Ross Dellenger gives an update on the status of the new five-for-five rule that would eliminate redshirts. He also shares details about an additional rule regarding tampering that is trying to be buried into the proposal. This one is a bit more controversial. Andy and Godfrey join Ross to discuss both of these proposed rules.
Later, the NFL draft is officially over, but what did it reveal about college football? The guys discuss how the draft can be used as a test for which conference is actually the strongest in college football. Plus, they also talk about the complaints that NIL is ruining the draft and other notable takeaways from the weekend.
Get caught up on all of this and more on today’s College Football Enquirer.
