00:00While we end with some college sports and college football, as we know, Pat, coming
00:07down the pipeline here real soon, next month, as a matter of fact, you know, most of the
00:13states that have sports betting legalized in the country are moving away and pushing
00:18back on college sports, college props.
00:22I shouldn't say college sports.
00:23You're still always going to be able to bet on games, but these props, New Jersey simply
00:27trying to get those on the menu at this point.
00:29What's the latest there?
00:30Yeah.
00:31So, a bill was amended to include in-state college betting, which is not allowed in New
00:37Jersey at this moment.
00:38So, if you wanted to bet on Rutgers, you know, the Rutgers-Michigan State game, you can't
00:42because it's illegal.
00:45And you know, yes, to your point, college prop betting is kind of moving away.
00:50We've got people talking about how the athlete, you know, mental health and just health overall
00:54needs to not have that because of, you know, heckling and threats and whatnot.
00:59But you know, if you don't have the option to bet on an in-state college, I imagine a
01:04lot of Rutgers alum live in New Jersey still, or St. Peter's or whoever, you're going to
01:10try to find somewhere else if you're that keen on betting.
01:13So, you know, kind of to the point of bringing it into the light that we were talking about
01:17at the top of the hit, same sort of thing, you know, you should have the option to do
01:21it. Otherwise, they're just going to go elsewhere.
