The US National Collegiate Athletics Association (NCAA) has announced the establishment of a new committee tasked with exploring the expansion of legalised sports wagering in the US.
The Board of Governors Ad Hoc Committee on Sports Wagering will examine the sports wagering landscape and its potential impact on current NCAA rules, educational efforts, player availability reporting, and any associated risks as more states legalise sports wagering.
“The NCAA and its members continue to take a thoughtful approach to the issue of sports wagering,” G.P. Peterson, chair of the NCAA’s Board of Governors and president of Georgia Tech, said following the board’s meeting Oct. 23.
“The core values of protecting student-athlete well-being and the integrity of competition are at the heart of these efforts. We must continue to evolve and adapt our approach as the landscape continues to change and sports wagering expands in the United States.”
