Overview

  • Division I’s Board shifted the effective date from Nov. 1 to Nov. 22, set for one day after the rescission period ends.
  • SEC commissioner Greg Sankey urged NCAA President Charlie Baker to rescind the change, and Pitt coach Pat Narduzzi denounced the move.
  • The policy would allow betting only on professional sports and preserves bans on wagering on college games and sharing insider information.
  • The delay follows a high-profile federal indictment that named NBA figures in an alleged gambling scheme, heightening integrity concerns.
  • NCAA leaders pitch the change as harm reduction paired with education, even as enforcement has recently banned players and opened about 30 related investigations.
