 No good deed goes unpunished.  A Florida sea tow captain saved a man from a burning ship only to be shoved overboard and have his boat stolen. This shocking incident occurred near Marco Island on March 6th. On that date, a call went out regarding a burning boat. The captain of a sea tow boat heard the distress call and rushed to provide aid. He was able to quickly locate the burning boat and  discovered 40-year-old, Ryan Deiter, and his dog onboard the burning ship. Wasting no time, the captain of the sea tow boat was able to maneuver alongside the distressed boat and begin efforts to extricate Deiter and his dog from the doomed vessel.  Eventually, the sea tow captain was able to pull both Deiter and his dog onboard the tow boat. However, once Deiter was pulled to safety, he repaid a stranger's kindness with treachery.  Deiter shoved the captain from his own boat and fled the scene in the stolen boat, leaving the man who had just risked his own vessel and life...

 NCAA bans athletes and staff from betting on professional sports amid gambling scandals

The NCAA has decided to prohibit athletes and athletic department staff from betting on professional sports after its membership voted Friday to rescind a rule change that would have allowed such wagers.

The decision comes amid a series of high-profile gambling scandals raising concerns about the integrity of both college and professional sports. In late October, an NBA coach and player were arrested in connection with two major gambling operations, and Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier was accused of using private player information to place bets on NBA games.

Two weeks ago, the NCAA revoked the eligibility of six men’s basketball players over sports betting allegations. On Friday, the organization revealed that former Temple guard Hysier Miller placed dozens of bets on Owls games, including some against his own team.

The rule change allowing betting on professional sports was set to take effect Nov. 1, but under a rarely used procedure, each Division I school had 30 days to vote on rescinding the proposal since it was adopted by less than 75 percent of the DI cabinet. More than two-thirds of members voted to block the change on Friday, just before the 30-day deadline.

Even if the rule had gone into effect, athletes and staff would still have been banned from wagering on NCAA events. The vote also applies to Divisions II and III, where professional sports betting will remain prohibited at all levels.

Concerns about the rule had been raised earlier by Southeastern Conference Commissioner Greg Sankey, who warned NCAA leadership about potential risks. NCAA enforcement cases involving sports betting have increased in recent years, with at least a dozen ongoing investigations.
