  "account": "Cincinnati has filed a $1 million breach-of-contract lawsuit against former quarterback Brendan Sorsby, following his January transfer to Texas Tech. Earlier, Cincinnati coach Scott Satterfield alleged that Texas Tech had tampered with Sorsby as the transfer was taking place. Sorsby, despite being ruled permanently ineligible due to betting activities, is now focusing on the 2027 NFL Draft. The 22-year-old quarterback had initially tried to maintain his eligibility, but later reversed his stance. Two other quarterbacks, JC French IV and Tommy Castellanos, have been signed by Cincinnati. Both teams are expected to focus on football during their upcoming game.",
