Let's remember the NCAA promotes casual gambling with a wink and a nod all the time, the next time they tell you gambling is bad.https://twitter.com/marchmadness/status/972236186713403392 …

I think most people distinguish between things like office pools/brackets and traditional sports betting.

Well sure, but here's the NCAA's guidelines for athletes: You may not place or solicit a bet of any sort on any college or professional sporting event, including but not limited to, sports “pools,” internet gambling, fantasy leagues, and gambling via “800” numbers.

Of course rules are different for athletes and others who influence the game. But for the general public, equating a $20 office bracket pool with putting $100 on Kentucky -8 isn't going to help your credibility.

In theory, if you're a college water polo player, you can't play in a tournament pool. Or do a seasonlong college football fantasy league with an entry fee.

True. Dumb rule, but it's special circumstances. My only point is that the general public views office pools and traditional sports betting as being different in kind, not degree.

If your point is that the NCAA is a bunch of hypocrites milking the system for every last dollar while worshipping at the altar of amateurism, I think the public is coming 'round to your view.
