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.
