NCAA Goes On The Offense: Baker Seeks State Ban On Prop Bets

While the NCAA continues to deal with the potential legal defense from the ongoing on-slaught of legal filings from coast-to-coast challenging various NCAA protocols and the organization's rulemaking authority, NCAA President Charlie Baker has decided to go on the offensive and request all states who currently permit prop bets to ban them. While prop bets only make up a small portion of the $11 billion legal sports gambling industry, the request by President Baker will certainly be challenged and added to the ever-growing list of challenges that he is continuing to face during his short tenure leading the NCAA. Baker's prop ban request is sure to receive strong opposition from the plethora of states who have strong legislative support to allow this type of gambling to continue as part of the various legalized sports gambling platforms that each state permits.
