NCAA updates guidelines for reinstating athletes after sports wagering violations
The NCAA Division I Legislative Committee has released updated guidelines on reinstating the eligibility of athletes who commit sports wagering violations
The NCAA Division I Legislative Committee has revised its guidelines on reinstating the eligibility of athletes who commit sports wagering violations. The updated system is tiered and varies depending on the nature of the wager and the amount bet.
Athletes who influence game outcomes or supply betting information may face lifetime bans.
Others who bet on their own sport taking place at another school may face 50% of season suspension and receive betting rules education.
Penalties for all other violations vary from educational measures to a potential 30% season suspension based on the amount bet.
Serious violations significantly exceeding $800 are evaluated individually and can lead to permanent bans.
