Texas Tech\u2019s appeal to the NCAA to have Brendan Sorsby\u2019s eligibility reinstated has been denied, in a ruling that is separate from the transfer quarterback\u2019s lawsuit against that same governing body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A person with knowledge of the NCAA\u2019s decision told The Associated Press on Friday night that the NCAA for the second time\u00a0denied Texas Tech\u2019s petition\u00a0to restore the quarterback\u2019s eligibility. He was ruled ineligible after he acknowledged gambling on sports, including on his own team while at Indiana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The person spoke on condition of anonymity to the AP because there was no announcement about the appeal decision from either the NCAA or the quarterback\u2019s current school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That came while the NCAA and Sorsby were still waiting for a ruling from a Texas judge after the quarterback filed a lawsuit May 18 seeking\u00a0a temporary injunction against the NCAA\u00a0in hopes of playing this season for the Red Raiders after transferring from Cincinnati.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A two-hour hearing was held Monday in the 99th District Court in Lubbock County, where Texas Tech is located. As of Friday, there still was no decision from Judge Ken Curry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Texas Tech had said May 26 that it was appealing after the NCAA denied the school\u2019s initial petition to have Sorsby\u2019s eligibility reinstated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
University president Lawrence Schovanec at that time wrote in a\u00a0letter to the Texas Tech community\u00a0that the school felt \u201cthe NCAA\u2019s ruling should be reversed or modified.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The school had ruled Sorsby ineligible May 18, the same day he filed his lawsuit. Tech had to do that to be able to pursue a\u00a0request for his reinstatement\u00a0that it submitted to the NCAA the following day.\u00a0That was denied\u00a0May 22.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
