From office pools to TV commentators, people have fun wagering on the outcome of sporting events. Vegas sports books are no different. The fact is, college sports are a profit-making enterprise. Universities make money.
Advertisers make money.
The NCAA makes a lot of money. College sports would not exist if these entities did not make a profit. If the NCAA is so concerned about problem gambling, perhaps they should redirect their billions of dollars they make in television contracts and advertising revenues towards addressing students problems. I am absolutely opposed to illegal, underage gambling on college sports or any other, and this bill does nothing whatsoever to address that. Boileroom bookies will exist whether or not there are established, regulated sports books in Nevada.
