College Athletes Can Now Bet on Pro Sports | What Could Go Wrong

The NCAA just changed its rules. College athletes and staff can now legally bet on professional sports. College games? Still off-limits.
In this episode, Eric Kasimov breaks down what the NCAA’s new policy really means, why enforcement is impossible, and how this decision could collide with NIL money, insider access, and college sports culture.
It’s not just a rule change — it’s the NCAA quietly admitting it’s lost control.
This episode is an audio edition of a SportsEpreneur article — written and read by Eric Kasimov — bringing sports, business, and commentary together in a storytelling and easy-to-consume format. Based on Eric’s article “The NCAA Just Admitted It Can’t Police Sports Betting” on SportsEpreneur.
