Daily News | NCAA panel changes reinstatement guidelines for sports wagering violations
The NCAA Division I Legislative Committee has amended the guidelines for reinstating the eligibility of athletes who commit violations relating to sports wagering.
According to the NCAA’s memo released Wednesday, the new reinstatement system will feature a tiered approach, depending on whether an athlete placed a bet on his or her collegiate team or pro sports. Athletes who bet on their own games or another sport at their school could permanently lose eligibility for what the NCAA calls “influencing the outcome of their own games or knowingly providing information to people within the sports betting industry.
For other betting violations, including those who place bets on professional sports, different penalties will be imposed depending on the money placed on bets. The NCAA took a tiered approach, with the punishments becoming more severe as the amount of money on bets increases:$201 to $500: Loss of 10% of a season, plus further education.More than $800: NCAA reinstatement staff will consider whether further loss of eligibility is appropriate, including potentially permanent ineligibility.
These new guidelines arrive as the NFL deals with its own gambling issue, with the latest wave of players, including the Colts’ Isaiah Rodgers, reportedly facing up to a yearlong suspension. The NFL prohibits players, coaches, and personnel from placing bets on football, but allows players to bet on other sports, as long as it’s not in team facilities or at team hotels during away games.
