An Arkansas casino is pushing for what it calls change and has been causing a stir online.

Saracen Casino is hoping to legalize a type of online gaming and they want to use the money from that to help college athletes across the state. However, it’s a long process, and not everyone is on board.

“It’s no secret that every NIL program in America needs money,” said, Carlton Saffa the Chief Market Officer for Saracen Casino.

Saffa said he recently learned of someone who had allegedly told state leaders that the University of Arkansas program doesn’t need NIL money. He said knowing that information raises concerns.
