A player of the male practice team at the Mississippi State University Women’s Basketball Team would have violated the NCAA rules by betting on sport while participating in the program, according to The Clarion Ledger.
The player would have placed six bets from September 28 to 30 worth $ 10 in total on the NFL and university football matches. The player did not place any bets linked to his own team or university basketball, according to the records obtained by the point of sale. He would have started working for the team four days before placing bets.
