I equate gambling for/against a team you play for to be like insider trading.  I have no problem with players gambling as long as their team isn't involved in the bet.  How you regulate/monitor that is a different story or an answer I don't know.

A few years ago, the SEC brought a guy from Vegas to our summer clinic to talk about gambling.  He said, at the time, the gambling apps can show where a bet was placed within 3 feet.  Assuming these players aren't placing bets in the dressing room while 100 other players are around, it should be pretty easy to see who is placing the bets.  I'm sure most of them are placed from their dorm room or apartment.

I haven't been paying attention. I take it the kid was caught gambling?

Lost in all of this is that Alabama fired their baseball coach a few years back because he was betting on their games. 

So is he good to get back into coaching now?

Caught, admitted to, and sought treatment for gambling.

Yes, and gambling on his own games when at IU.

Technically it's just an injunction to allow him to play for now till they decide what happens correct? I mean he did break several laws right?

Why would anyone GAF about an "underground" sports book when you can do it legally on your phone?

Shit they can probably run it through polymarket inside a roth IRA.

No idea if it's true but what I read earlier was that the injunction is only valid until a full hearing, but that the hearing was scheduled for after the regular season. 

To me the main takeaway from this is that Texas Tech's backup quarterback must be total ass.  For them to take the PR hit and possibly jeopardize playoff access over a guy who was decidedly average at his previous stops the guy playing behind him must be Peanut Adams level.

Hadn't read that name in a while. Didn't he become a Trooper or something?

When you spend $5 mill on a starting qb, you probably aren't spending much on the guy holding a clipboard
