Summary:
The National Gambling Impact Study Commission reported wide-spread sports gambling on
college
campuses and, although closely divided, recommended that gambling on collegiate and amateur
athletic events be completely outlawed. As in the 106th Congress, the sports gambling measures
introduced thus far in this Congress fall into two categories: those that impose a complete ban on
amateur sports gambling ( S. 718 (McCain et al.), H.R. 1110 (Graham et
al.)), and those that seek to reduce campus gambling and illegal sports gambling ( S. 338
(Ensign et al.), H.R. 641 (Gibbons et al)). This is a sketch of those proposals and an
abridged version of CRS Report RL30954(pdf) , Sports Gambling in School: A Legal Analysis of
Proposals to Strengthen Federal Prohibitions .
