Cincinnati Bearcats AD Bohn: Legalized betting raises several concerns on college level

Cincinnati Bearcats offensive guard Garrett Campbell says the team is ready for better things after two straight 4-8 seasons.

University of Cincinnati athletic director Mike Bohn said he is concerned about the potential ramifications of Monday's landmark Supreme Court ruling, which could lead many states to legalize betting on college and professional sports.

The justices ruled 6-3 that a 25-year-old federal law that has effectively prohibited sports betting outside Nevada by forcing states to keep prohibitions on the books is unconstitutional. The ruling could set the stage for other states to expand legalized gambling as a source of government revenue.
