NCAA Currently Falling Short to Rescind Rule that Would Allow College Athletes to Gamble on Professional Sports, Source Says

NCAA permits Division I athletes and staff to bet on pro sports but bans wagering on college games; legal betting exists in 38 states, with $14 billion wagered last year, ESPN reported.

  • Nov. 22, the NCAA will allow college athletes and athletic department staff to bet on professional sports while continuing to prohibit wagers on college athletics.
  • Originally scheduled for November 1, the change was delayed because less than 75% of the cabinet voted in favor, triggering an automatic rescission period.
  • With less than 24 hours before the 5 p.m. ET Friday deadline, 188 Division I schools filed rescission requests but fell short of the 241 threshold to block the change.
  • Federal authorities' recent arrests of Emmanuel Clase, Luis Ortiz, Chauncey Billups, Terry Rozier, and Damon Jones, plus six college basketball players' permanent ineligibility, raise integrity and coercion concerns.
  • Mississippi's statewide ban on mobile and online wagering will limit how Ole Miss athletes can participate, Ole Miss students reacted with mixed views, and the NCAA pledged it will not accept betting sponsorships.
