NCAA sets up committee to explore sports betting options
Reading Time: 1 minute
In what could become a significant boost to the already growing US sports betting industry, the US National Collegiate Athletics Association (NCAA) has set up a new committee, which will explore the possibilities of expanding legalised sports betting in the country.
The Board of Governors Ad Hoc Committee on Sports Wagering will study and analyse the sports wagering options and its potential impact on current NCAA rules, educational efforts, player availability reporting, and any associated risks as more states legalise sports wagering.
“The NCAA and its members continue to take a thoughtful approach to the issue of sports wagering,” G.P. Peterson, chair of the NCAA’s Board of Governors and president of Georgia Tech, said following the board’s meeting Oct. 23.
“The core values of protecting student-athlete well-being and the integrity of competition are at the heart of these efforts. We must continue to evolve and adapt our approach as the landscape continues to change and sports wagering expands in the United States.”
