Venmo and NCAA plan monitoring and reporting measures to curb athlete harassment
Venmo and the NCAA are joining to address harassment of student-athletes linked to sports betting, with Venmo planning a reporting hotline and ongoing account monitoring. Venmo also plans additional security measures and a guide distributed through NCAA channels; NCAA president Charlie Baker welcomed the steps.
The measures aim to help student-athletes report and limit payment requests tied to bettors’ reactions to their performance.
