Cincinnati Sues QB Sorsby Over $1M NIL Buyout

Cincinnati is suing former quarterback Brendan Sorsby for a $1 million buyout after he transferred to Texas Tech, alleging a breach of his NIL revenue-sharing contract.

The lawsuit, filed in Ohio federal court, seeks the $1 million payment due within 30 days of his departure. Cincinnati Athletics stated it intends to enforce the commitment made to student-athletes.

Sorsby’s representatives called the legal action "misguided," noting the university paid him $875,800 for a completed season. He transferred to Texas Tech on January 6.
