NIL and gambling are killing the goose that laid the golden egg.

Absolutely true, and it was easy to predict. We're just now starting to hear about a few gambling scandals, but it is probably already a deep, pervasive problem set to undermine American sports.

There have been some sports journalists on the fringes pursuing the gambling in sports issues for decades.

We can add this to the list of conspiracy theories that became conspiracy facts.

Players? Yes, ensure proper conduct.

IMO the weak link is the officials.

Just at my 30 year old son’s wedding and all the groomsmen were talking about betting using a sports betting app. Talking to 6-7 young men and all were betting.
