The NCAA Board of Governors has reaffirmed its support of current NCAA rules prohibiting student-athletes and university administrators from wagering on sports or providing information to others who are associated with sports wagering. It also determined that player availability reporting is not a viable option at this time.

Based on the work of the Ad Hoc Committee on Sports Wagering, created by the Board of Governors in October, the board concluded that player availability would not advance student-athlete well-being nor the integrity of competition, said Michael V. Drake, chair of the Board of Governors and president of The Ohio State University.

“The ad hoc committee gathered thorough feedback from conference commissioners, athletics administrators, athletic trainers and student-athletes across all three divisions about potential player availability reporting,” Drake said after the group’s meeting Tuesday in Indianapolis. “The membership has significant concerns about the purpose, parameters, enforcement and effectiveness of a player availability reporting model.”

The board also encouraged the NCAA national office and member schools and conferences to provide additional educational resources to help protect student-athlete well-being and the integrity of competition.
