Great news for Nevada and Mississippi, both states will not be stopped from holding NCAA tournaments or championship events moving forward.

This move comes following the Supreme Court’s decision to allow individual states the right to permit legal sports wagering. That’s something Nevada already had in place and Mississippi is expected to allow in the coming weeks. The Magnolia State will be the first state in the SEC footprint to have legal sports betting.

Prior to this news, states that allowed legalized sports betting were banned from holding NCAA events such as the NCAA Tournament or the College Football Playoff.

The NCAA released the following statement on Thursday, issuing its support for the Supreme Court’s ruling on sports wagering.

The NCAA Board of Governors suspended the Association’s championships policy related to sports wagering. The board’s decision will ensure championship location continuity by temporarily allowing NCAA championship events to occur in states that offer sports wagering.

The suspended policy prohibited any NCAA championship competition from occurring in any state that allows single-game sports wagering.

The Board of Governors may consider more permanent revisions of the championship host policy regarding sports wagering during future meetings.

At this time, however, the NCAA will not allow gambling sponsorships or advertising.
