Will QB Brendan Sorsby’s NFL Future Be Decided by Four High-Stakes Questions Amid Gambling Scandal?
The bottom line here is that Sorsby being denied his NCAA eligibility would put the NFL into a position where it would have to likely fight a legal battle to also deny him entry into a supplemental draft. And in doing so, the league would open itself up to legal battles over past precedent, antitrust challenges, and also having to define some kind of hardened rules over what constitutes an integrity red line when it comes to NCAA players gambling on sports.
“The easiest path would be to grant him access into a supplemental draft and then to let the teams determine what happens next with his career,” one NFL team president said. “At that point, if he lands on a roster, he’s subject to the rules the league has in place for gambling and he will be treated with the same constant examination as other players [in the league] who have already been suspended for gambling but still continued their careers after suspensions.”
