NCAA appeals Brendan Sorsby ruling

As expected, the NCAA has appealed the court decision restoring the eligibility of Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby.

>Via Justin Williams of The Athletic, the NCAA has filed an official appeal to the Court of Appeals for the Seventh District of Texas.

>The appeal is described as "accelerated." Which is necessary in this case. One way or the other, Sorsby needs a final ruling by June 22, the deadline for applying for th NFL's supplemental draft.

>The four-page ruling from Judge Ken Curry is light on analysis and reasoning. That could provide an opening for the appeals court to scrap it.

>The intense outcry against the decision to allow a player who admittedly bet on Indiana games while on the Indiana roster could influence the decision. Because even home cooking has its limits.

>Addiction or not, Sorsby blatantly and repeatedly violated the NCAA's rules regarding gambling. It's hard to imagine that there will be no consequence whatsoever — beyond the two-game suspension that Judge Curry imposed on Sorsby.
