Former Athlete Challenges NCAA Suspension | Texas Tech Red Raiders Football News

A former college football star is suing the NCAA over a six-game suspension for sports betting, arguing it’s an unfair and disproportionate punishment. Roy Alexander admits to betting but insists he never wagered on his own team and mostly placed small bets — and claims he stopped after learning the risks. His legal team argues this violates his contract and seeks an injunction to let him finish his final season. The NCAA stands firm, defending its rules as essential and backed by most Division I schools. This isn’t the first time Texas Tech has faced such legal battles — quarterback Brendan Sorsby also sued, initially won a temporary injunction before withdrawing. Alexander was cleared to play in a recent NAIA game, highlighting the ongoing clash between athletes and the NCAA over enforcement of sports betting policies.
