The NCAA has reaffirmed that college athletes and athletic departments will not be allowed to engage in gambling on professional sports. The governing body upheld its previous mandate after rejecting a recent proposal to permit betting on pro sports on Friday.

Last month, the NCAA Division I Board delayed a legislative proposal that aimed to allow college athletes and staff to gamble on professional sports, previously set to take effect on November 1. Prominent figures, including SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey, expressed concerns that led to the delay until November 22.

Each Division I school was granted a month to vote against the proposal, which was accepted with under 75% of the board’s approval. A significant majority voted to rescind the proposal just before the deadline. This amendment would have only sanctioned betting on professional sports; gambling on college games and sharing information with bettors would have remained prohibited regardless of the proposal’s outcome.

This decision follows a notable federal investigation involving sports betting and illegal gambling. Recently, Portland Trail Blazers head coach Chauncey Billups and Miami Heat’s Terry Rozier were among over 30 people arrested during two federal grand jury inquiries.

Additionally, an NCAA investigation showed that former Temple guard Hysier Miller had engaged in betting activities concerning his own team. Recently, the NCAA also revoked the eligibility of six men’s basketball players in connection with sports betting allegations.
