Outside of DFS (fantasy football) I don't gamble. However I think the time is now. Those concerned with addiction, I live in NC and have heard of no major addictions. It would have been reported.

Chad Johnson

I'm tired of going to council bluffs to make my bets.

John Bahr

Legalize all gambling. Why does the state have to dictate what you can and can't do.

Bob Dickson

Stop legislating morality. It is a gross example of dominion over the masses. It's not freedom. Its about power and control. Live and let live.

Not a good thing for college football, but we've got to be ready to match CA and other states, should the NCAA make that call. Schools not on board will of course be left out in the cold.

Frank Johnson

There is no reason to do this.

Randy Milhoan

How many bad ideas do adults have to entertain?

Gambling is evil

Sports betting will eventually create an environment where some individuals will want to influence games..it happens. Plus, sports gambling can hurt some families when betting becomes an addiction .

jon boller

Some folks may benefit from gambling but the odds are many others will suffer serious consequences, which includes children and other members of families who are not involved in gambling.

Tom Gilliand

Will have negative ramifications potentially resulting in scandals!

Robert Enyeart

Reminds me of the "well, other kids are doing it" issue as a parent. Also adds to the "Pay me in addition to my scholarship" Issue. A slippery slope.

Because know the Huskers have a true chance to win now that Utah doesn't have they're coach.

Robert Lloyd

Go Big Red

Wade Williams

Yes, especially when you combine the upheaval this causes with a few of their opt outs and departures. It's one of the reasons bowl games just aren't the same anymore. The record might say we're playing the 15th ranked team, but in reality, we're playing what's left of it. Glorified scrimmage gm!
