This is what we’re up against.
They created their own little sports book where they could place bets on themselves, in their own sport of swimming?! Hmmm. There's some ingenuity to that. I think internships at Caesars and MGM are in their future.

Sure hope ND doesn't look too hard at their golf teams if having a few friendly wagers within the team is suspension- worthy. Just sayin'.

So the headline makes you think that this was a major infraction and an institutional problem at ND. Then you get to the gist of the article highlighted below:

The women’s swimming team and men’s and women’s diving teams were not revealed to be part of the operation. Head coach Chris Lindauer and the rest of the coaching staff were not disciplined.

Nothing really to see here. Just another really slow news day in college sports......

I disagree that there is 'nothing really to see here"....

Not too many Universities would take the step of suspending a sports team for a full 12 months. Individuals perhaps, but not an entire team.

With all the betting apps out there, how can they really enforce no gambling unless someone squealed on the team mates who were gambling. Sounds like someone got pissed off at someone on the team.

This story prompts other thoughts about where things are going with NIL. It can be expected that giving college kids more disposable income will likely lead to more vice. Remember, the frontal cortex of the brain is not fully developed until age 25.

This can only be good news for The Phyrst, Zeno’s, Champs!
