Honestly not sure how that works. A pledge to fund the Smith Center, for example, does all that money come in at once, up front, and is invested at a rate such that the total value of that asset and interest fully covers the P&I of the bonds, once they start paying?
It’s easy to imagine negative effects. Can anybody suggest a single positive effect, even one?
I cannot.
Absolute *boggle* that betting good and 5 for 5 bad.
I was about to say buy DKNG, but it looks like that may had already happened.

Won't be too long until we reading about college coaches and athletes being involved . . . .
Was just coming back to reference this very story.
One might argue that introducing them to betting on the pro level increases the temptation to bet on NCAA games, with teams they understand better and games they might even be tempted to influence.
Or have others 'influence' them into participating to pay back existing gambling debt.
Got to get those gambling debts established early, so when they go pro later they are immediately eligible for recruitment into the fixer schemes.
Of course it does. If the NCAA can restrict your eligibility for for failing to meet certain academic requirements, they can certainly restrict it for other reasons. For example, an athlete can be banned for violating the NCAA's banned drugs policy, which does include non-performance enhancing drugs.
It’s a balance between the NCAA’s tight to maintain integrity and the person’s right to earn an income / have freedom.
I don't know the exact rules, but my son worked at NIU in the athletic department 2 years ago & last year. He was told that as an athletic department employee he could not bet on any sport that NIU competed in. I believe it applied to both college & pro so hoops, football, baseball, etc were out. I think he coulda bet on horse racing or car racing or some of the foreign sports.
