Athletes friends don't have to be athletes, that scenario is always there

and I said the schools get the money through the networks that pay them. Disagree completely, if the NCAA or the conferences were actually concerned about gambling, they could absolutely include in their agreements with the networks, prohibitions on advertisers. They wouldn't though, because the projected revenue growth over the next decade needed to pay these huge contracts has to come from somewhere, and a few more spurtle commercials aint gonna do it. I get it that the kids know it's against the rules, but the rules are BS and massively hypocritical.

Allowing NCAA athletes to gamble opens a pandora's box. You never know when

It seems pretty reasonable to ban people involved in sports from betting.
Hokiemacho • 08/23/23 03:48 PM ET
Athletes may also know about injuries that aren't publicly disclosed**
