The NCAA has established strict guidelines concerning student-athletes' involvement in gambling. Student-athletes shall not knowingly participate in any gambling activity that involves intercollegiate athletics or professional athletics, through a bookmaker, parlay card, or any other method employed by organized gambling.

Gambling is a serious problem and can have tragic consequences for you as a student-athlete who may be tempted to engage in such activities. Gambling poses a significant threat to the integrity of intercollegiate athletics. NCAA Bylaw 10.3 states that student-athletes and staff members of the athletic department shall not knowingly:

• Provide information to individuals involved in organized gambling activities concerning intercollegiate athletics competition, i.e. bookies or organized crime.
• Solicit a bet on any intercollegiate or professional team;
• Accept a bet on any team representing the institution; or
• Participate in any gambling activity that involves intercollegiate athletics or professional athletics, through a bookmaker, parlay card, or any other method employed by organized gambling. This includes betting on the NCAA Basketball Tournament and Super Bowl.
