Sports betting in Ohio "will cover major collegiate sports," effectively "batting down any question about the law’s intent." The Ohio General Assembly "did not exempt collegiate athletics from sports wagering, and neither will the Ohio Casino Control Commission," its Exec Dir Matt Schuler confirmed today. Ohio universities "have long raised concerns about the impact of sports betting on college sports." Ohio’s sports betting bill was approved by the Legislature last week and is now with Gov. Mike DeWine, who "has said he’ll sign it." Betting-eligible sports "include Ohio’s professional sports teams, motor sports, Olympic events, professional golf and tennis, and major college sports such as football and basketball," but the final determinations "will be established by the Casino Control Commission" (AP, 12/15).
