Betting sites do in fact narc on athletes. The individual sites use analytics platforms and hire forensic teams to track; I believe the sports organizations actually get reports fairly often about betting activity for their athletes or organizational employees. Most of these sites usually require pretty clear identifiers such as last 4 of SSN, at least. I believe the reason is due to federal and state laws regarding gambling, and that the sites can have some liability. At one point I supported/worked relatively closely with a governmental entity that included a team of financial forensics analysts and I know they would get tipped off/brought in to assist the FBI involving illegal gambling - I wouldn't expect it would be much different with the gambling sites.

I'd bet catching student athletes is more difficult because I doubt the sites receive a bigot list for student athletes the same way they do for sports organizations. With a little obfuscation, such as opening accounts with parents/family member information, I'd imagine it would take some time. Tax reporting is probably a big signal for the governmental watchdogs. I believe at many universities/NIL programs, they now actually push student athletes into having special apps on their phones to monitor social media, classroom attendance etc. Other teammates and staffers talk - it wouldn't be that surprising if someone from his previous schools notified the necessary parties after he burned a bridge. The timing lines up perfectly for that, but it could also be coincidental. Who knows.

Edit: It appears a local law enforcement entity notified the sports gambling book, and then the book notified the NCAA. Sorbsy's agent claims Cincinnati was notified in August '25, zero idea if that is true or just agent posturing.

My sister works for... Merrill Lynch? Bank of America? One of them big financial institutions. She does something similar with following the digital paper trail and investigating. The profile and trail is already there for everyone, it's just a matter of it being looked at or enough abnormal occurences happening for it to get flagged. Like she said one that was interesting was a guy down near the border, like Brownsville TX area or something. A lot of cash deposits at regular intervals started happening. Went on for months. They investigated and turned out he had started an HVAC or some kind of home repair/construction gig up and a lot of customers paid in cash.

So yeah, a college kid spending $38000 and transfering $60000 might get flagged and checked out. Gotta be smart and have someone entirely unconnected to you by blood or financially handle everything.

I assume that was the main thrust of his "gambling rehab for celebrities. "

Gambling is bad. Mkay? Don't do gambling, mkay?

Now here's a 100 page power point on how to hide it better and what each of you individually did wrong.

That article ignores that the lawyer said the NFLPA was the next step. I have to assume he's appealed to them already.

NFLPA shouldn't do anything for him, he isn't a member until he gets drafted or goes undrafted and then gets signed by a team
