Texas wasn't involved in this. Cincinnati had been holding on to this card for a good while, and played it to bolster their lawsuit against the kid walking his contract with them
When you look at the timeline, Cincinnati is in a very vulnerable position with the NCAA regarding their knowledge of Sorsby's gambling and their failure to report. It would be incredibly stupid for them to turn him in. Likely scenario is that it had to be a school that was outside Sorsby's orbit that turned him in, one that could not be linked to him in any way. It had to be a school that would benefit from the chaos. Possibly a school that has a history of running to the NCAA when any other school starts to encroach on their territory. I wonder who that might be....
What evidence is there that he got "turned in" by a school? Perhaps someone he knows on campus, or elsewhere, tipped someone off.
Do we know? The article said, "according to sources," he bet on Indiana... Cincy, as an institution, wouldn't know that unless someone who knew the kid told them. It is just as likely someone who knew he was going into rehab talked.
Besides, why would it be "incredibly stupid" for Cincy to turn him in, if they did? If they just found out about it this spring, what blowback are they afraid of?
