NCAA won't allow athletes or athletic department staff to bet on pro sports amid gambling scandals

NCAA athletes and athletic department staff will not be allowed to bet on professional sports after the organization's membership voted Friday to rescind a rule change that would have permitted those bets. In late October, an NBA coach and player were arrested in a takedown of two sprawling gambling operations, and Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier was accused of exploiting private information about players to win bets on NBA games. The NCAA announced two weeks ago that it was revoking the eligibility of six men’s basketball players over allegations of sports betting.
