NCAA Sports Wagering Education
New Module Provides Direction for Student-Athletes |
|
|
| Earlier this month, the NCAA launched its first sports wagering e-learning module designed to further educate more than 500,000 current and college-bound student-athletes on problem gambling’s harms and the risks sports wagering poses to the integrity of their games. Following feedback from student-athletes and campus leaders, the NCAA engaged former college athletes, including an NFL player, to better connect with current student-athletes. |
| | The module is a free, interactive tool that immerses the learner in an educational experience with helpful information, scenarios, Q&As and resources, all delivered by former student-athletes, for student-athletes. Every student-athlete registered with the Eligibility Center will be tasked to complete this module via their Eligibility Center account. |

Ask a Student-Athlete“At the Career and Sports Forum, one of our keynote speakers said something and it really resonated with me. She said, ‘Quit talking stuff about yourself and believe in yourself.’ And the reason that resonated with me is because often if you want to try something new, you talk yourself out of it...I mean, you don't know if you don't try, and you could get better from experiencing those bumps and failures.” Click here to watch the full interview.
