Right now, college athletes, coaches, and staff are prohibited by the NCAA from betting on nearly every major sport, regardless of league. MORE ⬇️
PHOENIX — The NCAA and universities are changing how they enforce and monitor sports betting in light of scandals and legalization in more than 35 states.
“When you have increased accessibility and availability, you're going to start to see people experiment,” said Dan Trolaro, U.S. Vice President of Prevention with EPIC Risk Management. “They have personality traits that might lend themselves to addiction. They're risk takers. They're competitive. They have a fear of failure. They've been playing sports their whole life…[and] tend to think their experience puts them at a better chance of winning,” Trolaro said.
The survey found “24% of men reported violating NCAA bylaws within the previous year by wagering on sports for money.”“I do think there's a fair amount of that activity happening again,” said Hangebrauck. “If they’re in basketball and want to bet on baseball, I have no problem with that. Just as long as they don’t bet on their own sport,” said Gary Kuznia, a sports bettor who lives in downtown Phoenix.Hangebrauck said the NCAA is viewing current sports betting violations on a “spectrum from just participating in sports betting…all the way to match fixing and competitive manipulation.”
