Gambling is one of those things in society that has become diluted over time in terms of how the public views it. Used to be it was frowned upon at almost every level but over time it became more acceptable to bet on football through a bookie, then it became slowly acceptable to bet on almost anything related to sports. But gambling has always been a part of human behavior. From card games to side bets on the golf course. Horse racing is a billion dollar institution. And to think Sorsby is the lone offender in college football, well that would be mighty naive to say the least. Draft Kings and other internet betting sites are everywhere. Sports media like ESPN and FoxSports feature the points spread, the over/under and other things I don't even know what they mean. They make it part of the games. If you aren't signed up for draft kings well, you just aren't really a red-blooded sports fan.
So, we are not just seeing the tip of the iceberg, we are seeing a penguin sitting on a polar bears head on a submerged My Everest of ice. And thanks to this court ruling the door is open for much more. With the kind of NIL money these immature irresponsible kids are getting what in the world can we expect than to see gambling at the collegiate level? Pro sports are different. With collective bargains agreements I imagine gambling is addressed but until college athletics go all of the way and get unionized there will be no way to regulate it.
