NFL suspends Cardinals scouting director Gold indefinitely over betting rules
Enforcement & compliance · SectorWire deskSource published Updated
Summary
The NFL has issued an indefinite suspension to Arizona Cardinals director of college scouting Ryan Gold for breaching its sports betting rules. The league said Gold supplied inside information on the team's draft picks before they were announced in April and placed parlay wagers on NFL and college football. The Cardinals said they support the league's decision, and Gold may appeal.
Why it matters
The case shows league gambling rules reach front-office staff, not just players, with inside draft information treated as a violation.
