LSU football head coach Brian Kelly said Thursday the university will be implementing a new injury reporting policy as a "proactive" response to the rising popularity of sports betting, according to Brett Martel of the Associated Press.
The Tigers' new injury reports will be published twice during game weeks in a similar manner to NFL injury reports, Kelly said. A player whose status is in question will be announced as either "available" or "unavailable" on Saturdays.
"I thought it was important given the nature of what's going on today out there relative to reporting and gaming," Kelly said.
