NCAA considers changing sports wagering penalties for student-athletes
The NCAA said it will reconsider penalties for student-athletes who violate sports wagering rules and advocate for state measures protecting competition and athletes from harassment. Proposed changes include removing competition suspensions for first offences involving bets on sports other than the athlete’s own, with education required instead; the NCAA expected a final decision by the end of October 2023.
Potential rule changes could affect sports-betting compliance expectations and the eligibility of student-athletes who wager.
