From the NCAA site.

For all wagering-related violations reported on or after May 2, the following guidelines will apply:

  • Student-athletes who engage in activities to influence the outcomes of their own games or knowingly provide information to individuals involved in sports betting activities will potentially face permanent loss of collegiate eligibility in all sports. This would also apply to student-athletes who wager on their own games or on other sports at their own schools.
  • If a student-athlete wagers on their own sport at another school, education on sports wagering rules and prevention will be required as a condition of reinstatement, and the loss of 50% of one season of eligibility will be considered.
  • For all other wagering-related violations (e.g., wagering on professional sports), cumulative dollar value of the wagers will be taken into consideration with the following terms for reinstatement:
    • $200 or less: sports wagering rules and prevention education.
    • $201-$500: loss of 10% of a season of eligibility, plus rules and prevention education.
    • $501-$800: loss of 20% of a season of eligibility, plus rules and prevention education.
    • Greater than $800: loss of 30% of a season of eligibility, plus rules and prevention education.

For cumulative wagering activities that greatly exceed $800, NCAA reinstatement staff are directed to consider whether additional loss of eligibility, including permanent ineligibility, are appropriate.

You know Cincy is having a good laugh right now.

But I’m waiting to hear from Cody Campbell about how this is more mistreatment.

Loss of eligibility must be at stake to preemptively check into rehab. How much did they brag about throwing at this guy?

If it’s true he bet on IU while there he should be done. That’s what happened to Hunter Dekkers of ISU.

Like Carl Sagan would say “billions and billions”.

I think it depends on the magnitude and facts, but he definitely could be done.

I also think Cincy probably knew about this and sat on it.

Good for him to get checked in. This should be a reminder to anyone that has a gambling addiction. Please get help.

Yes, both of them. :slight_smile:

Hammond was pretty decent, but he’s recovering from knee surgery and didn’t participate in spring drills. He MIGHT be available at the beginning of the season - not sure, though.

Thanks. Was curious how screwed they would be if Sorsby is indeed ineligible
