And now the next chapter could be written in the NFL.

Sorsby was initially ruled ineligible for the 2026 season due to violations of the NCAA’s gambling bylaws. Through his attorneys, Sorsby challenged that ruling by the NCAA, alleging among other things that he suffered from a gambling addiction.

Despite a Texas judge granting Sorsby a temporary injunction against the NCAA, opening the door for Sorsby to play for the Red Raiders next season, the quarterback now plans to enter the NFL Supplemental Draft, according to multiple reports. Texas District Court Judge Ken Curry granted Sorsby’s injunction request, while implementing several conditions on the quarterback including a two-game suspension, while the legal battle between the NCAA and the quarterback remained on course for a full trial. But with that trial likely to occur after the college football season, Sorsby was on a path back to college.

However, in the days following that ruling, several schools had canceled athletic events that were scheduled against Texas Tech. That included Michigan on Monday, canceling a volleyball match that was scheduled against the Red Raiders.

In addition, the Big 12 itself filed a federal complaint against Texas Tech on Monday, seeking a declaratory judgment as well as an injunction in an effort to enforce the conference’s bylaws, and potentially sanction Texas Tech, in response to the Sorsby situation. That complaint also named Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton as one of the defendants.

As part of this decision by Sorsby, his attorneys plan to withdraw the lawsuit against the NCAA, which would make him ineligible under the governing body’s ruling and therefore eligible to enter the NFL Supplemental Draft.

The deadline for players to apply for entry in the NFL Supplemental Draft is June 22. The NFL Supplemental Draft is expected to occur in late July.

Prolific Norwegian striker Erling Haaland is raring to go against Iraq on ​Tuesday in his country’s first World Cup match in 28 ‌years and his teammates will be seeking to ​feed his remarkable scoring habit, Norway coach ⁠Stale Solbakken said on Monday.

Haaland, who scored 16 times in eight qualifying games, double the tally of anyone else in ‌Europe, looks to be back in top form after being given a bit of rest ‌by Manchester City at the end of the ‌English ⁠Premier League season and by Norway in the ⁠run-up to the World Cup, Solbakken said.

“Hopefully he will have a very big impact,” he told reporters. “Hopefully we can continue to give ​him chances and if ‌you give Erling chances, he has a tendency to score.”

Solbakken – a former midfielder who played 58 times for Norway – paid tribute to captain Martin Odegaard who ‌racked up the most goal assists in the ​European qualifiers, despite being out for a lengthy spell with an injury.

That absence helped ⁠Norway develop, the coach said: “The players around him have grown because of that. So they have got more confidence ‌themselves.”

There was less positive news about striker Jorgen Strand Larsen who has a fever, Solbakken said.

Norway kicks off its World Cup campaign at the New England Patriots’ stadium in the suburbs of Boston against an Iraq side that qualified for the tournament after a ‌21-match marathon and the extra stress and strain of travel disruption ​caused by the U.S. and Israeli war with neighbouring Iran.

Solbakken highlighted Iraq’s organised, compact formation ⁠and their danger from crosses.

“And obviously, the coach is very, ⁠very used to this kind of game in terms of his success with Australia,” he ‌said, referring to Graham Arnold who led the Socceroos to the round of 16 in 2022 where ​they were defeated by eventual champions Argentina.
