Notre Dame Backs Anti­Gambling Bill

Rev. Edward A. Malloy, C.S.C., presi­dent of Notre Dame, and three Notre Dame coaches joined with U.S. Rep.Tim Roemer, D-Ind., on Feb. 24 at a news conference on campus promot­ing legislation that would ban legal sports betting on high school, college and Olympic events.

"Nothing (in collegiate athletics) fright­ens me more" than the threat posed by gambling, said Father Malloy, who ex­pressed his full support for the Student Athlete Protection Act (H.R 3575). The legislation was introduced by Roemer, whose 3rd Congressional Dis­trict includes Notre Dame, in an at­tempt to amend a previous 1992 fed­eral law that already bans gaming on athletics except in four grandfathered states (Delaware, Montana, Nevada and Oregon). The Roemer bill would close this four-state loophole. Pres­ently, only Nevada allows gambling on college sports.

Joining Father Malloy and Roemer at the news conference were Norman Bridges, president of Bethel College in nearby Mishawaka, Ind.; Notre Dame head football coach Bob Davie; men's and women's head basketball coaches Matt Doherty and Muffet McGraw; and Bethel College men's and women's head basketball coaches Mike Lightfoot and Jodie Martinez- who all offered unqualified support for the legislation.
