The National Collegiate Athletic Association has rescinded a policy in place for years that prohibited states with legal sports betting from hosting college championship games.
The change means major betting destinations such as Las Vegas can enter the running for the College Football Playoff National Championship, the Final Four of the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament and other post-season extravaganzas.
As soon as this summer, the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, Las Vegas Events and the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority can jointly bid to host NCAA championships beginning with the 2022-23 academic year probably through 2026-2027
