The New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement has shut down betting on Monday's Citrus Bowl between Purdue and LSU because of Drew Brees' prior business relationship with sportsbook PointsBet, according to a report from David Purdum of ESPN.

Brees agreed to that role Dec. 15, releasing the following statement:
"I am extremely excited to work with our team over the next few weeks as we prepare for the Citrus Bowl.
