SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
Congress finds that—
(1) illegal gambling on college sports is a seri-
ous national problem;
(2) illegal gambling by college students and
other underage persons, particularly on sports, is a
serious national problem that warrants effective na-

(3) recent scientific reports suggest a very high
incidence of illegal gambling among college students,
on college sporting events;
(4) illegal student bookies are present at every
collegiate institution;
(5) there is evidence that illegal sports gam-
bling, including that conducted on college and uni-
versity campuses through illegal student bookies, is
linked to organized crime and is a major source of
revenue for organized crime operations;
(6) 
the 
FBI 
estimates 
that 
close 
to
$2,500,000,000 is wagered illegally on the National

ketball Tournament each year;
(7) in Nevada, the only State where such sports
betting is legal, the 1998 National Collegiate Ath-
letic Association Division I Men’s Basketball Tour-
nament saw approximately $80,000,000 wagered
with Nevada’s regulated sports books, or only three
percent of that wagered illegally elsewhere;
