Tennessee lawmakers propose restricting sports betting on public college campuses
Tennessee lawmakers Jeff Yarbro and John Ray Clemmons filed companion bills that would require licensed sportsbooks to block access on specified public college campuses and require institutions to restrict betting on their WiFi networks. The proposals would also cover some nearby properties and college-event venues, with restrictions applying for the full day of a game; they would take effect on 1 July 2026.
If passed, the bills would require sportsbooks and public universities to restrict access to sports betting at covered campus locations.
