The NCAA's evolution on sports betting has begun, and one adjustment is welcomed news for New Jersey's college athletics programs.
The governing body for most college sports said Thursday it supports "a federal model addressing legalized gambling," and will also suspend its policy of prohibiting states that offer sports betting from hosting championship events following Monday's Supreme Court decision that ruled the 1992 Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (PASPA) is unconstitutional and cleared the way for New Jersey and other states to legalize sports betting.
The championship event change could have a significant impact on New Jersey college sports.
