Texas Tech ruling ignites debate on sports betting and gambling addiction
PBS
—
A judge's ruling in Texas is sending shockwaves through college sports.
Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby, who wagered $90 thousand on sports games, was banned from the sport.
But he and the school appealed, arguing he has a gambling addiction and anxiety issues.
The judge agreed, and Sorsby will most likely play this year.
William Brangham discussed more with Danny Funt.
