п»їAfter sports betting record, some Illinois lawmakers want to add college sports to legal bets.
(WTVO) — After a shaky rollout, Illinois’ sports betting market is booming. Nearly $500 million were bet in November 2020.
That’s a new record.
Betting was off to a slow start across the state due to COVID-19. Experts say allowing online registration changed that. Supporters of sports betting say more can be done.
Some want the state to allow gamblers to place their bets on Illinois collegiate sports too.
“In a year when Illinois football or basketball or Northwestern football or basketball or say Southern Illinois makes a run in the NCAA tournament, I can see it making a bit of a difference in revenue,” explained Rep. Mike Zalewski (D-Chicago).
Not everyone supports the idea. University of Illinois Athletic Director Josh Whitman has spoken out against it.

New Jersey senator proposes bill to allow in-state betting on college sports ban.
A state senator is attempting to close a loophole in New Jersey’s sports betting regulations that has been more of a nuisance than a disaster.
Compared to most states, sports betting in Jersey is pretty efficient. There is some competition in the mobile market, and the brick-and-mortar places upstate and in Atlantic City are decent. They have a problem with seemingly arbitrary limits and general tolerance for professional bettors, and they don’t allow wagering on in-state colleges or college competitions. So it’s not perfect.
NFL Week 6 observations: Winners, losers and Week 7 opening lines.
There’s no betting on Rutgers, Seton Hall or other Jersey schools. No betting on college games played at the Meadowlands, Boardwalk Hall, or other Jersey facilities. Even hanging a line on Princeton-Penn in a Jersey sportsbook or app will be met with a fine by the Division of Gaming Enforcement.
State Sen. Paul Sarlo (D-Bergen/Passaic) is looking to change that with a proposal he made Monday to allow betting on NCAA-sanctioned tournaments following the announcement that the 2025 men’s NCAA basketball East Regionals will be held in Newark, N.J. But it will be an uphill climb with a piano on his back.
“This is an important opportunity we have to capitalize upon," Sarlo said in a recent statement that appeared in the Asbury Park Press. "We need to support and sustain this growing market that is fast becoming a significant part of our regional and state economies. March Madness is a high-profile event on the sports betting calendar, and we should be a key player.”
So why the ban?

Because New Jersey’s sports betting laws are under the state constitution, a voter referendum is needed to make the changes Sarlo seeks. It’s a nice effort, but sports betting observers say it doesn’t go nearly far enough. There would still be a prohibition on betting on regular-season games. Rutgers football, for instance.
“If you’re going to go through the trouble of passing a resolution and having an issue of this magnitude to amend the state constitution, you should go all the way and completely remove the ban on in-state collegiate betting,” said Daniel Wallach, an expert in sports betting law.
“More importantly, from a public policy perspective, the state is basically telling its citizens to go and bet these games in the illegal market or in other states. This has stood, in the last three years, an exception to their record of perfection in the rollout of sports betting. It’s the only thing that prevents that state from having an A-plus for how they’ve handled sports betting.”
Sarlo’s office did not immediately return requests for comment Wednesday, but he at least cast the first stone. There is no restriction in Pennsylvania against collegiate betting.
New Jersey was at the forefront of the fight to end Nevada’s monopoly on traditional sports betting, and the in-state collegiate provision was included in their 2011 bill to make sports betting more appealing to reluctant politicians and residents. It was signed into state law the following year. The federal law overturning Nevada’s dominance toppled in 2018.
Wallach and others will point out that many collegiate sports betting scandals have been uncovered by regulated sportsbooks who have noticed unusual patterns in wagering. One provision some states have adapted to mitigate shady behavior is to restrict individual player and team props on collegiate events.
“I think New Jersey has always had a case of post-purchase dissonance over this in-state collegiate betting ban,” said Wallach, a co-founder of the University of New Hampshire’s school of law sports wagering & integrity program. “It seems to me the measure would have passed, at least on the public level, with or without an in-state betting ban.”
This and that.
And finally.
Westgate in Las Vegas opened its Week 8 line of Jets-Chiefs at Chiefs -21. It was at 21.5 as of Wednesday afternoon, which would make it the seventh-highest line since 1978. Thought the number would be even higher if the host Chiefs could put 76,000 screaming fans into Arrowhead Stadium.
“In that line range,” said Westgate sportsbook manager Jeff Sherman, “it wouldn’t change if the stadium was at capacity.”
NCAA Makes Case To Senators To Ban Betting on College Sports.
AD warns of hazards on campus from such wagering.
A prominent athletic director warned a U.S. Senate committee panel on collegiate sports Wednesday that failure of Congress to outlaw betting on NCAA events across the U.S. would have dire consequences on campuses.
Heather Lyke, director of athletics at the University of Pittsburgh, represented the NCAA’s position in opposing state-by-state legalization of sports betting on college contests (while acknowledging that “gambling on professional sports is here to stay”).
For the most part, Lyke — testifying remotely from her office due to the COVID-19 pandemic — seemed somehow unaware of the extent of illegal wagering on major college sports for more than a half-century. Pennsylvania legalized sports betting in October 2017 and was the fifth state to allow operators to go live with legal sports betting in November 2018, six months after the fall of the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act.
“The introduction of legal wagering on intercollegiate athletics will have a corrosive and detrimental impact on student-athletes and the general student body alike,” Lyke testified. “Gambling creates pressures and temptations that should not exist.”
The latter point is certainly defensible, in the abstract. But Lyke curiously ignored the widely understood reality.
Billion-dollar bonanza.
American Gaming Association President Bill Miller, the other panelist on the second, 25-minute segment of the two-pronged “Protecting the Integrity of College Athletics” hearing, noted in his written testimony that “anecdotally, we know that collegiate events account for about 30% of the basketball and football wagers placed in the legal market.”
That means that even by conservative estimates of the size of the illegal sports betting market nationwide, close to $50 billion already was being bet each year on NCAA sporting events before the U.S. Supreme Court in 2018 opened the door for such legal gambling.
But not so, apparently, in Lyke’s universe.
“While currently a spectator’s pride and team spirit might hinge on a win or a loss, if sports betting is permitted, one’s livelihood could depend on the outcome of a Saturday afternoon game,” Lyke told the senators on a panel led by U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina).
Lyke added there already had been negative social-media messages sent to athletes of losing teams before nearly two dozen states legalized Las Vegas-style sports betting since 2018.
“These messages pale in comparison to those that will come when a spectator has bet a relatively large sum of money on the game,” Lyke asserted.
“The general student body will not be immune to the detrimental effects” of legal gambling on college sports, Lyke also warned. “It is not unreasonable to foresee students gambling away financial aid or work-study money on вЂthe big game.'”
Decades of examples of such compulsive gambling by students demonstrate that Lyke’s concern is well-founded.
вЂIllegal’ keeps some potential bettors on sidelines.
When pressed by Judiciary Committee Chairman Graham on the issue of illegal gambling on campuses, Lyke replied, “I would argue that where you have illegal gambling, certain people are willing to make those bets — but the population of people there is probably much less than when you legalize it. There are more opportunities now.”
both SC Senator Lindsay Graham and Pitt AD Heather Lyke apparently believe, per this Senate hearing, that illegal sports betting in the US has only a "small group of people" involved. 🤔 — John Brennan (@BergenBrennan) July 22, 2020.
There was one aspect of sports betting that Lyke did seem to grasp.
“With the proliferation of online betting, placing wagers at any game at any time is as simple as the click of the button,” Lyke said. “One does not have to walk into the casino or sportsbook of a casino to bet on their favorite college team; they just have to enter a credit card and place the bet online.”
Of course, that was true up to almost two decades before the Supreme Court voided the 26-year-old Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act of 1992 for unconstitutionally “commandeering” states into doing Congress’s bidding on sports betting oversight.
Lyke then pointed out that “students may be susceptible to corruption and other abuses by gambling interests who will seek to utilize students as sources of information before placing wagers.”
Indeed, that has been the very root of a number of the college basketball scandals that have popped up periodically since the 1950s. Miller noted that most such scandals have been uncovered by Las Vegas bookmaking operators who noticed “anomalous activity” on sometimes relatively obscure games.
Miller said that widespread legalization of sports betting should help, not hurt, the NCAA in finding future potential scandals.
Prop bets can go too far.
Lyke made a valid point about an issue the NCAA brought up two years ago — a potential problem with in-game “prop bets” that athletes can manipulate while knowing that they are not significantly harming their chances of winning the game.
But her specific examples — betting on who wins the opening tipoff in basketball, or whether the first pitch to the second batter in the third inning will be a fastball or curveball — are a bit beyond the reality of exactly which wagers tend to be approved and offered.
Lyke added that a number of states — including New York and Illinois — allow sports betting on college sports, except for games involving the local teams. In New York, sports betting is currently only legal at four upstate casinos, and not via the internet or on mobile devices.
“Ironically, the case for prohibiting gambling on intercollegiate athletics on a national basis is made by the very states that have authorized it,” Lyke said.
Graham, who in the past has crusaded for billionaire Republican Party donor Sheldon Adelson’s war against all forms of online gambling, on Wednesday offered a merely perfunctory question to Miller about whether he had concerns about underage gamblers being able to wager online.
Finally, Graham told Miller that “we want to join you in putting illegal gaming sites out of business.”
Can Colleges Police Sports Betting? Some Are Trying.
Purdue, St. Joseph’s and Villanova have banned students from betting on their schools’ teams, but other universities are seeking more of a middle ground. No one is sure whose approach is right.
Oct. 21, 2019.
In Mississippi, university officials sent state gambling regulators names for a “watch list” for big bets. Iowa colleges have simply kept teaching their athletes longstanding, narrowly applied rules on sports wagering. And in Indiana and Pennsylvania, some universities flatly banned students and employees from betting on their school’s athletics events.
The rapid spread of legalized sports betting, made possible by a United States Supreme Court ruling last year, is prompting colleges and universities to grapple quickly with whether they can, or should, control a lawful activity so explicitly linked to the performances of their students.
But as more states have allowed bets and as wagers have soared — there were more than $730 million in sports bets in August, more than double the amount from a year earlier — there is no consensus among universities about how they should respond. And it is unclear whether the initial reactions will stave off any problems that critics fear might come from bets on everything from bowl games to March Madness brackets.
“Because these are fuzzy questions, and they're new questions, we’re not asserting that we've got it tacked down in all particulars,” Mitch Daniels , Purdue’s president, said in an interview as university officials labored this month over the precise wording of their new policy.
At its release on Friday, it proved to be among the country’s most stringent: a sweeping prohibition on betting on Boilermakers athletics by students, employees and contractors of the public university in West Lafayette, Ind.
The National Collegiate Athletic Association has long restricted many people connected to college sports, including players, coaches and organizers, from placing sports wagers or looking to profit from fantasy leagues or basketball tournament pools. Student-athletes, seen as especially vulnerable to manipulation because of their accessibility, age and typically limited financial resources, have been warned for years that they could lose their opportunities to play if they are tied to gambling.
As recently as August, with the landscape of legalized betting evolving by the month, the N.C.A.A.’s Board of Governors “reaffirmed its support” of its existing rules.
But because those bylaws — which almost a quarter of male athletes defied, according to a 2016 study commissioned by the N.C.A.A. — do not apply to every student or university employee, individual campuses have been moved to make their own rules to keep up with fast-changing circumstances in their states.
Consider St. Joseph’s, a Jesuit university in Philadelphia that sits, as its athletic director put it recently, in a “Bermuda triangle of gambling,” with Pennsylvania, Delaware and New Jersey all allowing sports betting.
“Everyone has a different policy because everyone has a different state law,” the athletic director, Jill Bodensteiner, said.
Some universities said that they had made no substantive changes since the Supreme Court’s decision and instead remained focused on teaching the N.C.A.A.’s standards that forbid sports wagers of any kind.
“Concerns and risks associated with wagering on intercollegiate athletics have existed for many years, though the new Pennsylvania law, which we opposed, magnifies the risks and justifies our augmented outreach efforts,” said Powers, who noted that Penn State was considering using a monitoring service to detect troubling betting patterns .
Other colleges have already felt compelled to act forcefully. Major universities in Mississippi, a bastion of gambling in the South for decades but a newcomer to legalized sports wagers, took a series of steps (some overt, others more subtle) last year to deter misconduct.
Sid Salter of Mississippi State said that schools coordinated “an extensive education and public awareness campaign” for students, employees and fans “to make sure everyone was aware of essential compliance issues.”
State officials said that last fall, the schools went further, arranging through the Mississippi Gaming Commission to learn if their athletes or coaches won l arge sums or placed substantial bets at casinos.
Of the universities that took specific actions in response to the Supreme Court’s ruling in Murphy v. N.C.A.A., many opted for internal policies that threatened discipline, sometimes left space for interpretation and seemed, to supporters and critics alike, difficult to enforce.
In Arkansas, the state university system approved a policy that barred employees and students who were “directly associated with a team, student-athlete or other participant” in a sporting event from placing bets in some instances. Students could be suspended for violating the policy, and employees could be fired.
But the university system did not define a “direct” association, and Nate Hinkel, a spokesman, said it was “evaluated on a case-by-case basis.”
Some universities adopted a harder line, drawing interest — and some skepticism, too — from other administrators.
Villanova, the Philadelphia university that is home to one of the country’s elite men’s basketball programs, moved last November to forbid employees and students from gambling on athletic events involving the school’s teams. At the time, the university said its aim was to “strike the necessary balance” between the state’s regulations and the N.C.A.A.’s rules.
Nearby St. Joseph’s later prepared an interim policy that barred students, employees, trustees and contractors from placing “an otherwise legal sports wager” on any team, event or person affiliated with the athletic department. Bodensteiner, who said no one had been punished under the policy, said she had been especially concerned about overwhelming student-athletes.
“These young men and women are under so much pressure as it is,” Bodensteiner said. “Now they’ve got a roommate or a professor or a counselor at the counseling center betting on them?”
Purdue now appears to be the first public university to have pursued a policy as unambiguous as private institutions. Daniels, the university president, said that “unease” had led trustees to act in the first weeks of legalized sports betting in Indiana.
“It just did not feel consistent with a value set that we think we hold onto here,” Daniels said.
When the formal policy was released on Friday, Purdue said restrictions on betting would, among other benefits, shield people from “any inference of profiteering from inside information, exercising undue influence or other improper conduct.”
Indiana lawmakers previously rebuffed pleas that college events be off-limits for gambling. Senator Mark Messmer, a Republican who sponsored Indiana’s sports betting law, said he regarded Purdue’s policy as “a very limited end run but with very limited ability to ever enforce it.”
“It seems to me like more of a symbolic attempt from the Board of Trustees to make a statement to their faculty and students that they don’t want to see it happen,” said Messmer, a Purdue alumnus who doubted that regulators or casinos would ever make investigative data available to the university. “I don’t see it being a big infringement on the sports betting world.”
Daniels, a Republican former governor whose state recorded $35 million in sports wagers in its first month of betting, acknowledged that enforcement would be difficult.
“We’re not going to set up a secret police to run around and try to find out,” he said. “A lot of policies here are undoubtedly being breached on a frequent basis. It doesn’t mean that it’s unimportant to have them as statements of principle, maybe of values. When we find a violation, we act on it.”
Whether the decision by Purdue, the first Power 5 school to act so aggressively, will ultimately be copied at other universities with influential sports programs is unclear. (The Big Ten, with members in five states that have, or will soon have, some form of sports gambling, declined to comment on any conference-wide plans.)
And that may be, college officials said, because of the inherent uncertainty around the subject. In statements and interviews, university after university attached caveats like “at this time.”
Bodensteiner planned to attend a campus forum on Tuesday as St. Joseph’s contemplates whether it should adjust its thinking to allow, say, bets on the Hawks if the university’s basketball team reaches the N.C.A.A. tournament.
“Sometimes, higher education is not known for a being a really fluid environment,” she said. “But this is one where we have to stray abreast of the issues and be willing to learn and correct, if needed.”
