Ohio sports bettors may soon lose the ability to place prop bets on collegiate sports.
The NCAA sent a letter to the Ohio Casino Control Commission Jan. 31 to request ending collegiate prop betting after months of discussions and reports of social media threats made to and about collegiate athletes.
Bettors would still be allowed to place wagers on overall outcomes and final scores of collegiate games, including outright winners, over/under totals and spreads. These rule changes would not change prop bets involving professional sports contests.
According to a statement released Friday, Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine and NCAA president Charlie Baker expressed support for ending prop bets on collegiate events.
