The National Collegiate Athletic Association has made a major about face on their policy of not allowing sports bets. Moving forward, NCAA sports betting will be allowed on their championship events in states where sports gambling is legal and regulated.

Sports gambling has been regulated in eight states, with Tennessee sports betting having just been passed.  The NCAA Board of Governors has been a vocal supporter of federal regulation for betting on sports.
