One day after the massive NBA gambling ring bust

[18IsTheMan]

The NCAA announces a policy change which allows players and athletic department personnel to bet on pro sports. I can't imagine any slippery slope here.

Bad optics anyway.

Can we just go back and start over with college athletics?

It does make you wonder if it's time to start going to Newberry vs Carson-Newman games (or similar).

Citadel vs Furman on Saturday.A game between real live amateur students.
Disclaimer:I attended one of those 2 schools.

So pro basketball players can go back to college and immediately bet on the pro sports they just left, LOL

College athletics is a joke.

Back when Sherridan was at Furman, I would go see them in the playoffs. Very exciting football.

Has the NBA even released a statement yet?

Ive said this many times that gambling will be the downfall of fall of college football any maybe other sports. It’s a matter of time before someone gets in the head of a player or a player goes at it alone. Since some of them now have money to gamble they know they can double down and make more. It’s coming or it may already be here.

Don't underestimate the "influence" of the mob.
