Gambling Watchdog Alerts Unusual Wagering Activity on Temple Men’s Basketball Game
https://www.si.com/college/2024/03/0...sketball-games
Gambling watchdog company U.S. Integrity sent out an alert to casinos Thursday regarding unusual wagering activity on the UAB Blazers-Temple Owls men’s basketball game, the American Athletic Conference confirms to Sports Illustrated.
“We are aware they flagged it,” AAC men’s basketball director of communications Tom Fenstermaker says.
The betting line moved significantly during the day Thursday leading up to the game. At one casino, the line moved from UAB as a 1.5-point favorite over Temple at the beginning of the day to UAB as an eight-point favorite by mid-afternoon, then settling at seven closer to tip-off. The Blazers routed the Owls, 100–72, in Temple’s home gym, the Liacouras Center in Philadelphia.

A couple of throw the pebble in the pond and watch the ripples comments on how bad this could go:- There is no limit on the number of employees a school could hire to fill out a team. I can envision the school in central ohio hiring 200 football players
- If they are paid, no need to truly offer a scholarship;
- Hense they could sign players to employment contracts in 8th grade and not wait for signing day.
- If no scholarships for football, then they could bypass Title 9. Say goodbye to a plethora of Olympic or non-revenue generating women's teams
- One potential benefit is less players in the transfer portal. Why sign recruits to one year employment contracts? I can see 3 year minimums written into the contract, or a guaranteed 3 year deal, with school option fir years 4 and 5

Tennessee and Virginia have won a preliminary injunction against the NCAA. The NCAA cannot enforce additional rules around NIL while the injunction is in play.

A day after a historic ruling that could change collegiate sports by allowing NCAA athletes to unionize, St. John's coach Rick Pitino said the sport needs a "salary cap" and a new hierarchy to thrive.

The schools will find a way to get foreign athletes a work visa, thus making them eligible for pay/employment.

Good question. Need a tax lawyer on that one. It could be, but is it w-2 salary or bonus or 1099 with no withholding?
I've seen this come up a couple of times on Twitter. What do you do with foreign players? They're on a student visa. They're not eligible to work and they don't necessarily qualify for a work visa. On the current track we're on, they would either have to give up sports and finish on an academic scholarship or go home.
I mean if this mess takes effect this summer, what do you do with Viktor Lakhin? Going home is not a great or realistic option for him right now.

If their employees, doesn’t that make the value of their scholarships taxable?

I’m skeptical because the Ivy League players are non scholarship but this has the potential to just burn down the NCAA student athlete model.
