Sports gambling is legal — will that impact college athletics?

On Monday, the Supreme Court ruled that sports gambling was legal, finally catching up with many other industrialized countries. This requires infrastructure put in place by the states, of course, so you can’t just go out and wager anywhere just yet. But we’re on our way to something resembling normalized sports betting.

From a fan perspective, that provides some extra fun provided you’re not suffering from gambling addiction (and if you are, there are options for help). But this does give college sports administrators something to think about, as the News & Observer detailed when looking at the ACC spring meetings.
