NCAA President Charlie Baker expresses concerns about gambling in college sports, particularly prop betting, during the men's basketball championship game. He questions the focus on prop performance during the women's Final Four and discusses measures to help college athletes understand the name, image, and likeness landscape.
GLENDALE, Ariz. — president Charlie Baker said before Monday’s men’s basketball championship game that the organization remains concerned about gambling in college sports but added that “we’re kind of in the top of the first inning on this one,” particularly when it comes to prop betting . “Did any of you notice how much time was spent on cable TV about Caitlin Clark’s prop performance first game leading into the second game?” Baker said.
They’re also a reason fans lash out at players for not reaching those numbers. “The prop-betting piece is enormously problematic for student-athletes and I’ve had a lot of them say that to me,’’ Baker said, adding that the NCAA has helped persuade four states to eliminate prop betting and others to pass harassment legislation.
