 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.
