This is from ABC News........


The NCAA released this statement this afternoon regarding states that allow gambling and their right to host post season events:

"The NCAA Executive Committee has adopted a policy related to sports wagering and the conduct of NCAA championships.

The Executive Committee, composed of chancellors and presidents from all three NCAA membership divisions, agreed at its August 6 meeting in Indianapolis to implement the following policy:

“No predetermined or non-predetermined session of an NCAA championship may be conducted in a state with legal wagering that is based upon single-game betting (high school, college or professional) in a sport in which the NCAA conducts a championship.”

Single-game betting is defined as wagering that involves either a money line or point-spread wager. The recommended policy would not apply to those states that may offer parlay betting, lottery tickets or sports pools/pull tabs.

The Executive Committee approved the policy to ensure the integrity of the game, to provide consistency in awarding NCAA championships and to address student-athlete well-being concerns."

This is GREAT news for the state of Montana. Because we do not allow wagering on the direct outcome of games, it means that Montana and Montana St. will still be allowed to host playoff games.
