In light of gambling’s pervasiveness in college sports, Tulane is taking a unique formal step to combat information sharing: requiring coaches and athletic staff to sign a nondisclosure agreement, reviewed by Sports Illustrated, that governs the release of “Confidential Information” in any form including financial, education or medical records relevant to sports betting. The form was revealed to coaches and staff in a meeting Monday, according to a person familiar with the gathering.
The documents goes on to state that access to confidential information must not be used to bet or shared with individuals associated with sports betting. If a staff member becomes aware of unauthorized disclosure, they’re supposed to notify the athletic department’s CFO. “Failure to abide by this Confidentiality Statement may subject me to disciplinary action up to and including termination of employment,” the document reads.
