The Ohio Casino Control Commission (OCCC) on Friday granted a request by the NCAA to prohibit wagering on prop bets involving collegiate athletes. Ohio sportsbook operators have until March 1 to implement the ban on any wager on "an individual athlete's performance or statistics participating in a sporting event governed by the NCAA."

Examples of prop bets include the over/under on a basketball player's points or a quarterback's passing yards. More than 20 states with legal sports betting prohibit or limit player-specific prop bets on collegiate athletes, according to the OCCC's announcement.
