NCAA Pushes for Nationwide Ban on College Player Props

Citing harassment of student-athletes, the NCAA president is urging all states to ban individual prop bets on college games.
NCAA President Charlie Baker has officially launched a campaign urging state gaming regulators to ban proposition bets on individual college athletes.
The push comes after numerous reports of student-athletes facing harassment on social media from bettors angry about their performances. Several states, including Ohio and Maryland, have already moved to restrict these markets. Sportsbook operators are pushing back, arguing that banning legal markets will only drive bettors to unregulated offshore sites.
