The NCAA announced Thursday that it has rescinded a policy that prohibited championship competitions from being held in states that allow single-game sports betting.
The NCAA Board of Governors temporarily suspended the policy last year, after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down a federal statute that had restricted state-sponsored sports betting to primarily Nevada for 26 years. The board voted to fully rescind the policy this week.
Nevada has been a home to college basketball conference tournaments and a college football bowl game for years but was prohibited from hosting NCAA-sanctioned championship events like the men's and women's basketball tournaments.
