NCAA says it'll adjust sports wagering, championship policies after Supreme Court ruling | News & Observer

The NCAA is open to adjusting its policies toward sports wagering after the Supreme Court struck down a federal law Monday that outlawed sports gambling in most states.

"Today the United States Supreme Court issued a clear decision that PASPA is unconstitutional, reversing the lower courts that held otherwise," NCAA chief legal officer Donald Remy said in a statement. "While we are still reviewing the decision to understand the overall implications to college sports, we will adjust sports wagering and championship policies to align with the direction from the court."

The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 to strike down the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (PASPA).
