<p>Texas Tech&#8217;s appeal to the NCAA to have Brendan Sorsby&#8217;s eligibility reinstated has been denied, in a ruling that is separate from the transfer quarterback&#8217;s lawsuit against that same governing body.</p>
<p>A person with knowledge of the NCAA&#8217;s decision told The Associated Press on Friday night that the NCAA for the second time <a href="https://apnews.com/article/sorsby-gambling-texas-tech-160a7746159be24e66d052c113896777">denied Texas Tech&#8217;s petition</a> to restore the quarterback&#8217;s eligibility. He was ruled ineligible after he acknowledged gambling on sports, including on his own team while at Indiana.</p>
<p>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&#8217;s current school.</p>
<p>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 <a href="https://apnews.com/article/sorsby-gambling-texas-tech-ncaa-58c498cf6a3a421044146592cfb87e5a">a temporary injunction against the NCAA</a> in hopes of playing this season for the Red Raiders after transferring from Cincinnati.</p>
<p>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>
<p>Texas Tech had said May 26 that it was appealing after the NCAA denied the school&#8217;s initial petition to have Sorsby&#8217;s eligibility reinstated.</p>
<p>University president Lawrence Schovanec at that time wrote in a <a href="https://x.com/TexasTech/status/2059379387888242705?s=20">letter to the Texas Tech community</a> that the school felt &#8220;the NCAA&#8217;s ruling should be reversed or modified.&#8221;</p>
<p>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 <a href="https://apnews.com/article/sorsby-texas-tech-gambling-mcguire-16507fc0798c6829509078e79374f8f7">request for his reinstatement</a> that it submitted to the NCAA the following day. <a href="https://apnews.com/article/sorsby-gambling-texas-tech-160a7746159be24e66d052c113896777">That was denied</a> May 22.</p>
