The Big Game – Universities Push Gambling?!
In the world of online gambling, many view sports betting as the ‘gateway drug’ to a more serious gambling addiction- so we share in Dave Ramsey’s outrage over US colleges promoting these gambling services to their students.
The NY Times recently released a report outlining that multiple universities have joined forces with sports betting operators, getting kick-backs for promoting their platforms to their students. While these partnerships may be an attempt by athletic departments score back some lost revenue from the pandemic, Ramsey — who has previously criticized colleges for teaming up with credit card companies — says on an episode of his show that this new phenomenon is actually “way worse,” dubbing it “stupidity on steroids.”
In this episode, Jake and Gino argue that the universities have an obligation to take care of their students, but instead are carelessly cashing in- ignoring data that shows their student bodies as the most at risk for developing a gambling addiction. With student loans and debt from college taking a toll on so many Americans, students are easy prey for this downfall.
