NCAA Revises Penalties for Athlete Gambling Violations

The NCAA Division I Council approved new guidelines for reinstating eligibility of athletes who violate sports betting policies.
Penalties will now be determined based on the amount of money wagered and type of bet.
Athletes who bet on their own games or provide insider information face permanent ineligibility.
Athletes who bet on other sports at their school may lose half a season of eligibility.
The new guidelines aim to update penalties in response to the legalization of sports betting in many states.
