    At least eight universities (including Colorado and Michigan State) have cut deals with gambling outfits to make it easier for college kids to gamble on-line. The university even gets a cut of the action. At least twelve universities have cut deals with casinos.

    Mom and Dad might see a new expense on their kid's list of college expenses they need money for.

    'You freakin' idiots': Dave Ramsey just blasted US universities for promoting online gambling to students — and reaping millions in fees. Why young people are the perfect prey

    This fits in well with making Neon Deion the head coach at Colorado.

    This is not good and for some students will not end well.
    It reads like the Uni's are willing to put students at risk in order to increase revenue.

    Would these arrangements be subject to review by the feds who control the student loans at these schools? this practice definetely seems predatory and for the public universities to use it to raise funds doesn't seem to be right
