Education? How about severe punishment...No more eligibility for that athlete?

How is this new?

Because it was announced by the sec today?

Brendan Sorsby should never be allowed to play college football again.

Ya'll gonna hate me but sports gambling is straight up stupid.

This worked great with D.A.R.E. in school. No one does drugs today!

Shameful that all Greg Sankey is doing is politely asking athletes not to gamble. Not surprising though.

Schools have been educating student athletes on eligibility rules for years. This included gambling. The only thing new is a specific educational video. How innovating.

Yeah pretty fricking embarrassing

The difference is that gambling is pretty harmful (not saying drugs aren’t, D.A.R.E. was just absurdly over the top). It’s absurdly easy for gambling to absolutely wreck the integrity of a given sport.
Pretty sure this is the SEC just reinforcing the 0 tolerance policy.

Coach: do you understand that you are not allowed to gamble on college football?
Player: yes
Coach: do you understand that if you do gamble on college football you will be kicked off the team and your NIL deal is forfeited?
Player: yes
Coach: sign and date

It's more so poking fun at them making a bunch of college kids watch a video like it's going to alter their decision making in any way.

Sounds like this is a preventative measure to keep it from getting to that point. Half of these players can’t spell their own names, much less navigate gambling rules for recently legalized online betting.

I got $10 that says that almost none of them actually watch the video.
Worth noticing that this is the exact kind of thing big companies require of their employees when they have some issue. I’ve clicked on buttons related to a fair number of stupid required videos at my work.
