The state's sports betting legislation may be changed by lawmakers in Connecticut.
After the men's and women's basketball teams at the University of Connecticut recently enjoyed success, lawmakers in the Constitution State are starting to take steps toward allowing sports betting on in-state universities.
The state should act to amend the current gaming law, which forbids betting on in-state colleges and college player props, in light of the success of UConn's athletic programs. There are those who oppose college-focused wagering, despite the teams' achievements and demands for change.
