New Jersey law prohibits wagers placed on collegiate games taking place here or involving New Jersey teams – like Rutgers football’s Scarlet Knights and Seton Hall’s Pirates basketball team – and a new survey shows residents would like to keep it that way.
Voters heading to the polls this November will get to decide on a constitutional amendment that would change state law and expand sports betting to New Jersey college teams or home games. According to a July 8 Fairleigh Dickinson University poll, just 25% of New Jersey voters said they would be in favor of the proposal.
A broader 49% of voters said it should still be banned, while 23% said they were not sure if the bans should continue, according to the report.
