TOP STORY

1. DIII Management Council Approves Proposal to Allow Student-Athletes, Staff to Bet On Pro Sports

“The Division III Management Council approved a noncontroversial proposal that will permit student-athletes and athletics department staff members to bet on professional sports. The rule change required approval by all three divisions and will be effective Nov. 1.

The NCAA prohibition against betting on college sports — and sharing information about college competitions with other bettors — remains in place. The change also would not impact rules prohibiting advertising and sponsorships associated with sports betting for NCAA Championships.”
