This week, gambling’s been on my mind. Is it because the nominally-normal mid-sized city that I live in has this week turned its entire attention, energy and resources to holding a series of horse races? Possibly.
But it’s also been a big topic of discussion in college football. Gambling’s always been a part of our sport, but it’s only going to grow bigger and more above-board in the coming years.
Last year’s Supreme Court ruling in Murphy v. NCAA opened the door for states to individually legalize sports betting, and the impacts are already being felt.
