The NCAA announced adjusted punishment guidelines for athletes who bet on other college sports at their own school on Tuesday. While gambling on other NCAA sports would previously result in permanent loss of eligibility under the old rules, it will now result in a one-year suspension and lost year of eligibility.
The NCAA previously shared plans to ease punishments on gambling cases outside of a player’s own athletic department. A player betting on their own sport at another school could result in losing 50% of a season, while gambling on other sports results in punishments ranging from mediatory gambling education classes to 30% of a season based on a sliding scale of money wagered.
