As of my knowledge cutoff in early 2023, NCAA athletes are not permitted to bet on sports, including their own sport or any college sports, under NCAA rules. The NCAA has strict regulations against sports wagering to maintain the integrity of college athletics and to prevent any potential corruption or influence from betting interests.
However, the landscape of sports betting in the United States has been changing since the Supreme Court struck down the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (PASPA) in 2018, which had prohibited sports betting in most states. Since then, individual states have been legalizing sports betting and creating their own regulatory frameworks.
While the NCAA’s stance is clear, individual states may allow sports betting, but that does not override the NCAA’s rules for student-athletes. If an NCAA athlete were found to have violated the sports betting rules, they could face penalties, including suspension or permanent ineligibility.
It’s important to note that the rules and regulations can change, so for the most current information, it would be best to refer to the latest NCAA guidelines or consult with the appropriate athletic association or legal counsel.
