"NCAA guidelines prohibiting sports betting at all levels were composed and adopted at a time when sports betting was mainly unlawful across the country," stated Josh Whitman, athletics director at Illinois and council chairman. "As wagering on sports has actually ended up being more widely accepted throughout the nation, Division I members have actually identified that more conversation of these sports betting guidelines is warranted, especially as it associates with the possible distinctions between betting on professional vs. college sports."

Current NCAA rules do not enable professional athletes or institutional personnel to engage in sports betting for any sports that have NCAA champions
