Why Athletics Are Vulnerable to Gambling.
Naughton, Jim
Chronicle of Higher Education, v44 n32 pA51-A52 Apr 17 1998

Because of student athletes' competitive nature, they may be more likely to engage in gambling. The National Collegiate Athletic Association and individual colleges are examining and addressing this long-standing problem with clearer policies and workshops. (MSE)
