More players than we realize are involved with this. Especially with the amount of NIL money going around.
NIL is more likely to disincentivize this behavior than incentivize. The risk goes up.

Not from my experience. College kids with no financial sense make dumb decisions. I played D1 at a smaller school and every time off-campus checks and Pell Grants hit, a large group of players would always go to the casinos and spend the hell out of that money. It's on a larger scale with NIL especially with online gambling legal in a lot of states now.

You're telling me a kid who is only at a school for NIL is less likely to point shave, etc than a player who has their heart and soul invested in playing for Ole Miss, Georgia etc because they are life long fans?
Gonna have to disagree with you there.

I knew a several guys with gambling problems in college and EVERY ONE of them was a guy who originally had money to start with. Money from the parents mostly.
Unless you are buying scratch offs, guys with little disposable cash rarely do a lot of sports betting.
