The deci- sion comes in the same week that NCAA president Mark Emmert agreed to leave his role in the middle of his contract once a new president is named, a move which will allow the NCAA to recalibrate amid a rapidly changing college sports landscape-from a new constitution, conference realignments, changed NIL rights, and anti-trust lawsuits. Prompting the decision was the Mid-American Conference's (MAC) formal rules interpretation request on the matter six weeks ago, after the MAC struck a deal with Genius Sports to give Genius five years of exclusive marketing and distribution rights over the MAC's official data. While the original deal only included the distribution ofofficial MAC statistics for use by media companies and fan engagement platforms, the NCAA's decision now allows for the monetization of such data to sports betting companies. In question was Section 10.3 of the NCAA's Division I manual, which forbids athletes, university staff, and conference employees from providing information to anyone associated with sports betting.
