NCAA advances plan to allow pro‑sports betting
The NCAA Division I Administrative Committee voted to advance a proposal that would allow college athletes to place wagers on professional sports while maintaining the ban on betting on college sports. The change still requires Division II and III approval later this month and could take effect as early as Nov. 1; officials emphasized integrity protections, continued prohibitions on sharing competition information, and that the NCAA does not endorse student‑athlete betting.
