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.

He's at TTU. There's gotta be some oil billionaire who thinks that mil is just pocket change.

I really hope he ends up having to pay UC for leaving. IMO, that exit money should be in every NIL deal.

How dumb are the people cutting these checks without solid ways to enforce?

Hope they get a handle on all of this NIL/ transfer stuff really quickly and put some serious penalties in place for violations but I'm not holding my breath.

Not too dumb if they have the money to throw around?

I'm not holding my breath.

Aside from those "houses" you visited when in the service, when have you held your breath?

Just because I have enough cash for a hooker, it doesn't mean I'm not a sucker if she leaves me tied to the bed and takes my wallet.
