Sports Gambling for College Athletes
Gambling has been present since B.C.E. times, with sports gambling emerging soon after. It has become increasingly common in the United States over the past couple of years.
Currently, 39 states, Washington D.C., and Puerto Rico allow sports gambling, with its prevalence boosted by commercials and odds displayed on apps and television.
Previously, the only exception was college athletes, but in October, the DI Administrative Committee adopted a proposal to allow them to bet on professional sports.
The new rule was initially set to be effective on November 1, but the NCAA voted to postpone it to November 22.
