NCAA reverses rule change that would allow student athletes to bet on professional sports
Two-thirds of Division I member schools have voted to rescind the change.
US-. The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) has voted to rescind a previously approved rule change that would have allowed student-athletes and athletics department staff to legally bet on professional sports. After a 30-day review period, two-thirds of Division I member schools voted to rescind the change.
The result means that the ban on all forms of betting, for sports in which the NCAA sponsors a championship will remain in place for all three NCAA divisions. The NCAA had postponed the rule change last month from November 1 to November 22.
