Cincinnati sues Sorsby over $1M exit fee after Texas Tech transfer​

Cincinnati sued former quarterback Brendan Sorsby in federal court Wednesday, alleging he breached his NIL contract with the Bearcats when he refused to pay a $1 million exit fee after he transferred to Texas Tech.

The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio, seeks $1 million in liquidated damages, which the school said Sorsby was contractually obligated to pay within 30 days of transferring.

In the complaint, Cincinnati's attorneys said the quarterback's representative "advised that Sorsby refuses to pay the University anything."

Sorsby reportedly signed an NIL agreement with the Red Raiders that will pay him between $4 million and $6 million this season.

"In his lucrative NIL agreement with Cincinnati Athletics, Brendan Sorsby committed to stay and play for two seasons as a proud Bearcat representative," the university said in a statement Wednesday. "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."

The lawsuit said that Sorsby signed an 18-month NIL contract with the Bearcats that covered the 2025 and 2026 seasons. It was set to expire on Dec. 15, 2026.

Just sayin': Colleges suing athletes for braking NIL contracts is just going to get more and more common.

Diebler is getting completely out coached here just fell apart after the timeout when it was 14-2.

This team is just bad all around. I don’t understand how a university as big as ours can never get a big guy worth a damn like the Purdues of the world. Who have we had since Sully worth a damn underneath?

Kaleb Wesson was strong. Not sure if you count EJ Liddell as a big, but he at least provided good rim protection & rebounding. Haven't really had an interior presence since EJ.

This shit is entertaining but this might be the worst basketball I’ve ever seen. My Gawd is this fugly

Bruce 0 points in a must win game. Best player on the team, but not assertive. Frustrating to watch this shit over and over

The patented 8ish minute run of awful play that dooms us against better teams.

This list is idiotic imo. McCarthy shouldn't even be on this list, and the fact that the B1G single season passing yards and passing TDs record holder doesn't even make the list(Dwayne Haskins) shows how much of a joke it is. I feel like whomever made the list just wanted to throw players in there and not just populate the list with OSU QBs. Because tbh, every starting QB in the 2000s should be on this list. And honestly 4 of the top 5 QBs should be OSU QBs if we're being completely honest(Stroud, Fields, Smith and Miller).
If I could redo the list:
1) Justin Fields 2) Troy Smith 3) CJ Stroud 4) Fernando Mendoza 5) JT Barrett 6) Will Howard 7) Braxton Miller 8) Russell Wilson 9) JJ McCarthy 10) Taulia Tagovailoa 11) Chad Henne 12) Trace McSorley

1) Fernando Mendoza
2) Troy Smith
3) Justin Fields
4) CJ Stroud
5 Russell Wilson
6) Braxton Miller
7) Drew Brees (played in 2000)
8) Dwayne Haskins
9) Will Howard
10) J.T. Barrett

Not ideal to put the opponent on the foul line in the 1-and-1 by fouling on the offensive end - that's the kind of thing that never seems to happen in OSU's favor.

Buckeyes 0 points in 6:45 & counting now ...

Iowa does have the #1 scoring defense in the B1G in terms of PPG, although they are #34 nationally per KenPom.

No movement and lazy on D. This is the most inconsistent, frustrating team I’ve seen. Bruce has got to insert himself into every game on offense. He needs to shoot 25-30x a game for them to have any chance. I hate when he tries to get others involved. Just become a ball hog already! If Royal don’t contribute, we’re toast!!

16-0 Iowa run over 4:54

At the under-8 TO in the first half, OSU has had exactly 3 players store, and they have 6, 6, and 3.

Welp that went to shit real quick

One player dismantling us

Buckeye scoring drought. Inconceivable

Uttered toward the end of the Thad vs. Villanova game, "The aggressor really has the advantage with getting the calls late in the game." I had just tuned in, but appears to echo what others have said about non-physical teams getting screwed by the refs.

I've noticed this same trend as well. The bigger, faster, stronger, more physical team generally gets the benefit of the calls. This is a bad thing for this OSU team.

Ohio State President goes rogue against Big Ten proposed CFP expansion plan​

Ohio State's president is not on board with what the Big Ten wants to do with the College Football Playoff.



The Ohio State football program has benefited from every change in the College Football Playoff. They have won both the first four-team Playoff and the first 12-team Playoff. The Buckeyes have done well every time that they decide to expand the race for a national championship.

College football has decided that they need to expand the Playoff pool once again. It's something that athletic departments seem to want because of how much more money they would be able to make by adding more teams to the tournament. The SEC wants 16 teams while the Big Ten wants 24.

Ted Carter, the President of the Ohio State Buckeyes, doesn't like what the Big Ten is proposing. In fact, it doesn't sound like he supports expanding the CFP at all. He let that be known in a recent interview, claiming that 12 teams is the ideal number of teams for the CFP.

Ohio State president goes against BIg Ten's CFP expansion plan​

In a recent interview, Carter let it be known that he likes the 12-team CFP.

"I'm a little bit like a lot of fans. We don't need more teams. Let's go back to the old format when there were only four teams in it. If you're Ohio State, and you're one of the four, your odds are a heck of a lot better, right? So with 12, if we can get the scheduling down right, that's going to make us competitive. But I do believe there is going to be some level of expansion."

Ohio State football team had future NFL Draft prospect playing the wrong sport​

The Buckeyes had this prospect playing a completely different sport when he was on campus.



No other program has as many defensive prospects that will be drafted in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft as the Ohio State football program. They will likely have four players drafted in the first round. There's an outside chance that side of the ball sees six players drafted that high.

The Buckeyes were one of the best teams in the country this past season. They started the season 12-0 before falling apart in the final two weeks. Oklahoma made the 12-team College Football Playoff for the first time. Owen Heinecke was a key member of the Sooners' defense.

Heinecke started his career with the Ohio State Buckeyes, but he wasn't on the football team. In fact, he played lacrosse with the Buckeyes for one season before transferring to Oklahoma to be a preferred walk-on. Heinecke let everyone know how close he was to playing football for the Buckeyes.

Owen Heinecke asked about joining the Ohio State football program​

Heinecke explained the process of going through his time at Ohio State and whether or not he thought about playing football for the Buckeyes.

"I did. Unfortunately, they were taking my lacrosse scholarship because I was stepping away from lacrosse, and out-of-state tuition was just a little bit too much for me and my family."

Instead, Heinecke ended up transferring back home to Oklahoma to play football. He only entered the draft because the NCAA denied his waiver to play an additional year with the Sooners. They deemed the year he played lacrosse counted as a year of eligibility.

Now, Heinecke will try to get drafted out of Oklahoma. Had he played football for the Buckeyes, it would have been hard for him to see the field. Both Arvell Reese and Sonny Styles are going to be first-round picks, so it would have been hard for him to play snaps ahead of either player.

Heinecke only started one year in his collegiate career, totaling 74 tackles, three sacks, and a forced fumble in 2025.

Ok so what's the answer???
