Legalized gambling has made it necessary for bettors to review inside information, such as the health status of players for prop bets, prior to games.<\/p>\n<h2>SEC could require schools to report injuries to help curb gamblers from offering players money for their health status<\/h2>\n<p>Since schools reporting injuries would become a rule, gamblers would no longer have the incentive to offer players money or otherwise put them in compromising positions for that inside information.<\/p>\n<p>This move would certainly impact prop bets for all <a href=\"https:\/\/sports7.us\/betting-sites\/\">licensed sportsbooks<\/a>. SEC commissioner Greg Sankey informed coaches this week about the possibility. However, he also said that a final decision is unlikely anytime soon.<\/p>\n<p data-t=\"{&quot;n&quot;:&quot;blueLinks&quot;}\">\u201cI did acknowledge it\u2019s a cultural change for us, but things are changing around us,\u201d Sankey said. \u201cThis is intended to be the beginning of a discussion and not a decision. That\u2019s how I framed it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-t=\"{&quot;n&quot;:&quot;blueLinks&quot;}\">Georgia coach Kirby Smart said he learned about the SEC initiative before coming to the meeting this week. The three-time SEC Coach of the Year is in favor of availability reports.<\/p>\n<p data-t=\"{&quot;n&quot;:&quot;blueLinks&quot;}\">\u201cIf it helps with gambling then I\u2019m all for it,\u201d Smart said. \u201cIf it helps with gambling then I\u2019m all for it.\u00a0 And if it\u2019s geared to getting knowledge out there that people are trying to get from our student-athletes and it protects them, I\u2019m certainly for that.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 data-t=\"{&quot;n&quot;:&quot;blueLinks&quot;}\">The Big Ten adopted injury reports last year<\/h2>\n<p data-t=\"{&quot;n&quot;:&quot;blueLinks&quot;}\">The Big Ten attempted to persuade the NCAA to consider adding a weekly injury report, following the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in the Murphy v. NCAA case that allowed individual states to legalize sports gambling in 2018.<\/p>\n<p data-t=\"{&quot;n&quot;:&quot;blueLinks&quot;}\">Nevertheless, a universal mandate for all conferences never came to fruition.<\/p>\n<p>The Big Ten adopted injury reports last year. This required schools to submit their reports at least two hours before kickoff. The information needs to be disclosed sooner than that.<\/p>\n<div class=\"intersectionObserverRefElement\">\n<p class=\"\">Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith explained the rationale for the reporting at the time:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"intersectionObserverRefElement\">\n<p class=\"\">&#8220;In football, we're going to kill this [idea of] gamesmanship around injuries. ... We don't know if we want to report as many days as the NFL, but clearly on Mondays if somebody is injured from Saturday and you know they're not going to play the following Saturday because they broke their leg, why not just say that?&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>If the NCAA cares about protecting its athletes, key information about player health and personnel decisions has to be made public for individual player props and related bets.<\/p>\n<p>The SEC mandating it would be a step in the right direction for this new era of sports betting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The NCAA's Southeastern Conference (SEC) is considering a rule change that would mandate player availability reports using injury reports for sports betting.
