It is a relief temple didn’t make it to the tourney as that would have brought controversy to an already heated debate so to speak regarding college betting. I hope it’s a nothing burger but I’m concerned it could be bad news thus the backlash grows on sports betting with more federal Legislation introduced which I do see coming regardless as seen here https://sportshandle.com/new-york-congressman-pitches-new-bill/ in full and the escalation to possibly ban college betting which would be disastrous for the legal market thus driving the $$$$ offshore. As it regards player props I pray we get rationally to this as the decisions by Ohio, Maryland and Vermont were over reactionary and not done properly. We are six years into this and we have some gaming commissions that over regulate which is not good for the industry. The states that are doing that seem to want to potentially destroy the golden goose badly

I don't know if it was good or bad that Temple didn't make the tournament. If they did, chances are a lot of young athletes who had nothing to do with it would have gotten swept up in it. And the investigation would have hung over the program's head no matter the circumstances.

And yeah, I don't think just banning college betting is the answer. You further push any of this kind of thing into the shadows.

Exactly and look thank God for us integrity as they do a great job in exposing this. The investigation would of been a circus for temple and to me if they made it you'd get good pr from some but mostly bad pr which the NCAA doesn't want.

Bottom line anytime this stuff occurs temple, bama baseball the mainstream people say sports betting is off the rails while people like myself and you Dustin take a step back and want the facts before the judgement as long as we have us integrity along with people like Jim root who's interview on vsin exposed this fishiness we have a good system in that regard as it pertains to integrity monitoring from the books and sometimes sharp pro players who notice this stuff
