Overview

  • The Division I Board moved the effective date from Nov. 1 to Nov. 22 to align with a rescission window that remains open through Nov. 21.
  • SEC commissioner Greg Sankey urged the NCAA to rescind the policy in an Oct. 25 letter, calling the change a major step in the wrong direction.
  • If implemented, the rule would allow wagers only on professional sports, maintaining bans on betting on college contests and on sharing nonpublic college information.
  • The timing follows federal arrests of NBA figures in a gambling investigation that intensified concerns about wagering risks.
  • NCAA leaders point to added education, support, and integrity monitoring, while coaches such as Pittsburgh’s Pat Narduzzi have sharply criticized the plan.
