NCAA Considering Proposal to Allow Athletes, Staff to Bet on Pro Sports
- A vote is anticipated this week by the governing body of NCAA Division I to consider a proposal permitting athletes and staff to place bets on professional sports, while continuing to prohibit wagering on college sports.
- This consideration follows a directive from the April Board of Directors vote, 21-1, to adopt legislation deregulating betting on professional sports with approval also required from Divisions II and III.
- The proposal aims to shift enforcement toward college sports betting offenses that affect game integrity and retains prohibitions on sharing college event information with bettors and athlete betting on college sports.
- NCAA vice president Jon Duncan noted enforcement caseloads on betting violations have grown, and chief medical officer Dr. Deena Casiero emphasized harm reduction and education over punishment for problematic gambling behaviors.
- If approved, the change could help address gambling-related harms by encouraging help-seeking, but resistance remains over concerns that legal pro sports betting could lead to risks in college sports wagering.
