Speaking at the Sports Betting USA 2020 online seminar, Naima Stevenson-Starks, the NCAA's vice president for law, policy and governance, expressed concern about so-called proposition bets involving college athletes. But NFL player props are a much larger segment of the sports betting industry than those on college players, something Stevenson-Starks acknowledged. A survey Thursday of leading U.S. sportsbooks found little in the way of college player props, although they were more readily available on unlicensed offshore sites that are beyond the reach of U.S. regulators. A spokeswoman for DraftKings said its college props usually involve which team scores first or last, and how many points a team will score. The NCAA's concern over player bets resonated with at least one state gambling regulator participating in Thursday's seminar.
