The finances of college sports are in peril. Desperate for cash, college athletic departments are embracing sports betting. Many colleges have entered partnerships with sports book companies and some schools receive a payout whenever a student opens an account with the sports book. An international panel of experts examines the threefold threat to athletics and college life: (1) the integrity of the competition may be undermined; (2) by most estimates there will be tens of thousands of addictive gamblers in college dormitories; and (3) some college players may be subjected to violence if their team does not perform as expected. Panelists address What the dimensions of these threats and how will they impact intercollegiate athletics.
