💨 Abstract

The NCAA and Genius Sports extended their partnership, making Genius the exclusive distributor of NCAA data to sportsbooks until 2032. NCAA President Charlie Baker mandated that sportsbooks must stop betting on negative props to protect student-athletes from abuse. A 2024 study found over 5,000 abusive posts towards athletes, with 80% targeting March Madness participants and 12% related to sports betting.
