NCAA revises penalties for student-athlete sports wagering violations
The NCAA said it revised reinstatement rules for student-athletes who bet on teams at their own school. A wager on another school team now brings a one-season loss of eligibility and mandatory education, while betting on the athlete’s own team still results in permanent loss of eligibility. The NCAA described the change as an initial step in a broader review of its wagering rules.
The revised reinstatement terms change the eligibility consequences colleges must apply to certain student-athlete wagering violations.
