In its rising battle with legal sports betting issues throughout collegiate athletics, the governing body released a sports wagering e-learning module to offer education to more than 500,000 student-athletes.
The module informs of problem gambling harm, risks to the integrity of the games, NCAA rules, and how to handle social media harassment.
"The data is clear that athletes with firsthand experiences connect with current student-athletes better than any other material we could develop, so we are incredibly grateful for their participation in this effort." One of the surveys issued showed that 58% of the targeted age population was engaged in at least one sports betting activity. It also found that 16% of the surveyors engaged in “at least one risky behavior” with 6% reporting they lost more than $500 wagering in a single day.
