The NCAA has officially lifted its prohibition on pro-sports betting by college athletes. The prohibition against betting on college sports — and sharing information about college competitions with other bettors — remains in place. The change does not impact rules prohibiting advertising and sponsorships associated with sports betting for NCAA Championships. In making the rule change, the NCAA emphasized that the action is not an endorsement of sports betting, particularly for student-athletes. The organization encouraged schools to educate athletes about the impact of sports betting.
