The NCAA is postponing a rule change to allow gambling on professional sports as the matter receives pushback from key stakeholders across college sports.

The national governing body of college sports is delaying a rule change to allow pro sports gambling from Nov. 1 to Nov. 22, allowing DI membership institutions to vote on the issue.

NCAA recession period kicks in

The NCAA allows Division I institutions to vote whether to rescind an approved rule change within 30 days if a rule proposal doesn’t receive at least 75% of votes from the DI Board. The board voted to adopt the proposal, but with less than 75% of the votes.

Nov. 22 is one day after the NCAA closes a membership rescission period. At least two-thirds or more of the institutions need to vote against the rule change for it to be rescinded.
