Regulators in Kentucky are in no rush to decide what to do about an NCAA request for a ban on college player prop betting in the Bluegrass State.
NCAA President Charlie Baker wrote to the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission's general counsel on March 29 seeking"a prohibition on player-specific prop bets and related markets" in the Commonwealth, as the college sports executive has done with other state regulators.has since been tweaked following the passage of legislation in the state legislature, which could partly account for the relatively slow response to Baker’s request.
The new agency met Monday in Lexington and received a report from its sports wagering division. However, the corporation's board did not discuss the NCAA’s request for a player prop ban, according to Travers Manley, interim general counsel for the regulator. That means, at least for the time being, that college player prop markets remain safe at Kentucky sportsbooks. The state isthat still offers those props in some form, although the NCAA is hoping to convince Kentucky regulators to change their minds. Baker and the NCAA have pushed for college player prop bans because of worries about student-athlete harassment by bettors and attempts to squeeze inside information out of those players, among other concerns.
Baker, the former governor of Massachusetts, signed a bill into law in 2022 that legalized sports betting in the New England state. Even so, and even with the college player prop issue cooling some, he has not backed off his stance, saying in June that The ceremonial first sports bet placed by Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear LOST. The Kentucky Wildcats won only seven games this season, which let down the since-re-elected gov on his NCAAF future parlay.
