What is the ncaa rules on a offical playing fantasy games and winning money or even betting. Does fantasy leagues count if money is involved and does it matter if the league is professional sports can he play fantasy leagues at all. I cant seem to find the rule. But based on what happen in Washington to there coach it seems that you cant bet or even be associated with any forms please reply i am interested.

Honestly, I'm not really sure, but I think that the rule for coaches and athletes is that you can't bet on any games in the sport that you play or coach. In other words, Neuheisel's (sp?) problem was not that he was in a pool, but that it was a football pool, and he's a football coach. If he'd made a couple bets on basketball action, I think he would've been ok.

D1 officials get a pretty good pre-season talking-to about gambling in general. I'm pretty sure that NCAA tournament officials have to agree to undergo a background check. Even with all that said, CBOA's season-end banquet was held at Foxwoods Resort & Casino the last couple years. So there can't be any prohibition against gambling. Just stern warnings about not getting in over your head?

Thanks Mr Elias for your reply it is a very confusing

situation. I had thought that any type of pool or

wagering was against the rules. I am glad for your

response and I appreciate your help. Thank You
