It’s inevitable. And incredibly sad when I think about our own experiences with a college athlete in the family. So much will be lost, in the name of a few people making a buck.

I agree....but I also feel it's inevitable. I would add, the reasoning used is a good one. If the NCAA is not allowed to enforce their own rules regarding gambling, then they are basically on life support.

I doubt that's the case in Indiana, but it's always been about Illinois covering infrastructure costs for roads/sewers as well as property tax certainty. The Bears have always maintained they would pay 100% of the stadium construction in Arlington Heights.

This is really going to cut into their revenue. As a parent I can take my three kids to the game, give them each a $10, and not expect anything back. What I can’t do is give them each a debit card and I’m not going to make multiple trips down to the concession stand during the game. For an athletic department already facing a decrease in revenue at the gate, this seems like a very surprising decision.
