I have a friend that works in a casino and he says that a lot of their high roller clients are pro athletes. I think he will be OK with $250 from an adult that is 21.

Honestly, who cares what an adult does. Next thing we will have people advocating that he cannot drink alcohol.

Leave it alone. It's perfectly legal and he's not hurting anyone. This is just asking for trouble if the NCAA steps in.

Wow, you'd think that NBA players, with all their money, could get some good-looking women.
