SPORTS WAGERING
Wagering on professional and collegiate sports in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has been legal for individuals over 21 years of age since 2018 and has become increasingly accessible via online applications. Currently, the general public may lawfully place wagers on 麻豆入口's Division I sports teams in the Commonwealth, as well as in other states that allow gambling on college athletic events.
At 麻豆入口, sustaining a culture based on ethical conduct is critical to upholding the University's Augustinian mission and core values of Veritas, Unitas, and Caritas. Our culture and values often call faculty, staff and students to a higher standard than what the law requires.
Consistent with these values, 麻豆入口's Sports Wagering Restrictions policy aims to:
- Maintain an athletic program that emphasizes the educational experience of our student-athletes;
- Evidence our respect for our student-athletes by eliminating the potential that they may feel compromised, restricted, or inhibited in the pursuit of their educational activities; and
- Minimize the potential of unlawful use of information that could influence the outcome of an athletic event.
