Cincinnati has sued former quarterback Brendan Sorsby

Today the University of Cincinnati released a press release stating they have sued former quarterback Brendan Sorsby. Sorsby was the starting quarterback for the Bearcats the past two seasons, but he had a buyout clause in his contract worth $1 million it hasn't been paid and it was apart of his release. He transferred to Texas Tech who is rumored to be paying him in the range of $4 million to $6 million.

All in all he has the funds, it will be interesting to see how fast this is handled, just a sign of the times in college sports.

Release Per GoBearcats:

Cincinnati Athletics is proud to partner with its student-athletes and honors the contractual commitments it makes to them. We expect student-athletes and their representatives to do the same. In his lucrative NIL agreement with Cincinnati Athletics, Brendan Sorsby committed to stay and play for two seasons as a proud Bearcat representative. He also agreed that if he left the university before that time, he would pay the university a specific amount for the substantial harm that his breach would cause. Cincinnati Athletics intends to enforce that contractual commitment. As stewards of the university’s resources, the Athletics Department has a duty to do so. We thank Brendan for his time at Cincinnati and wish him success in the future.
