Delaware sports gambling ruled constitutional - May 29, 2009 | 10:41:37
posted by: Ryan Powell
The Delaware Supreme Court ruled Thursday that the sports betting law signed this month by governor Jack Markell complies with the state's constitution. Attorneys for the NFL argued to have the law ruled unconstitutional. But all five justices on the state's highest court saw otherwise. The NCAA opposes all forms of legal and illegal sports wagering, which has the potential to undermine the integrity of sports contests and jeopardizes the welfare of student-athletes and the intercollegiate athletics community. This section contains links to resources on the history and pervasiveness of wagering in intercollegiate athletics, as well as resources to help administrators and student-athletes keep their programs and teams clear of gambling-related problems. Check out the NCAA's "Don't Bet On It" Web Site - An interactive resource for sports wagering education.

As an educator, umpire/official, ex college/professional athlete, and past coach I believe it is our top job to guarentee our athletes recognize it is education first and athletic success second.
