US EditionCollege athletes still banned from betting on professional sports after NCAA Division I schools vote to rescind proposed rule
241 Division I schools voted to maintain the ban on betting on NCAA championship sports to protect integrity amid recent gambling-related arrests and athlete harassment.
- Facing a Friday deadline, NCAA Division I member schools completed a last-minute vote that reached 241 schools at 4:30 p.m. ET, preserving the ban on betting in NCAA-sponsored sports.
- Originally set for November 1, the proposed rule failed to secure 75% cabinet approval, triggering a 30‑day rescission window that allowed student‑athletes and athletics department staff to be excluded from betting.
- The NCAA argued the longstanding ban preserves game integrity and shields college athletes from harassment, citing permanent bans of six college basketball players and a study showing 36% faced bettor abuse.
- The decision leaves the prohibition in place across all three NCAA divisions, while Genius Sports pressures sportsbooks to drop individual-performance wagers amid federal gambling-related arrests.
- Leagues and regulators, including NCAA president Charlie Baker, have urged sportsbooks to remove vulnerable prop bets as 14 states ban them recently, with Hysier Miller becoming the 14th banned player from seven schools.
