Overview

• The Division I Administrative Committee adopted a proposal permitting student-athletes and athletic department staff to place wagers on professional sports.
• Divisions II and III plan to consider the measure later this month, and the rule would take effect Nov. 1 if both approve.
• Betting on college sports remains prohibited, as does sharing inside information, with severe penalties for wagering on one’s own games.
• NCAA enforcement says it is handling a significant caseload, including September revocations for three men’s basketball players in a prop-bet scheme and probes into 13 more athletes from six schools.
• Leaders said the shift aims to align athletes with campus peers and concentrate education and enforcement on protecting the integrity of college competitions.
