Cincinnati on Wednesday responded to the agent of quarterback Brendan Sorsby publicly questioning its handling of his gambling in 2024, saying that the school would never knowingly play an athlete who violated NCAA gambling rules.
Ron Slavin, Sorsby's agent, told Dallas radio station 105.3 The Fan earlier Wednesday that Cincinnati should be "questioned or catching heat" because the school knew of Sorsby's gambling for two years and "never said anything."
Sorsby played for Cincinnati for two seasons, beginning in 2024. On Aug. 19, 2024, Cincinnati was alerted to Sorsby's activity on daily fantasy site PrizePicks, according to court documents. The school questioned Sorsby after receiving the alert and was told by the quarterback that he was denied access to the site and had not placed any wagers, according to the documents. Sorsby also received sports wagering education and the matter was closed, according to the documents.
