The Big 12 will start releasing public availability reports for all football conference games this season, joining other power conferences like the SEC, Big Ten, and ACC, to enhance transparency and protect student-athletes by providing daily player status updates before games.
The ACC will start releasing public player availability reports for conference games at least 48 hours in advance, aiming to combat gambling-related information leaks, with similar policies extending to basketball and baseball, and plans to enforce fines for non-compliance; this move aligns with SEC practices and is part of broader efforts to regulate sports betting impacts.
The Big Ten Conference has mandated that individual schools submit availability reports for football games, which will be shared publicly two hours before kickoff. The conference will also partner with U.S. Integrity to prevent prohibited sports wagering. The new policy will be subject to disciplinary action if breached, and the process will be evaluated and refined as needed. This move comes after the legalization of sports betting and discussions in 2019 about player availability reports. The Gophers are still awaiting a decision on a second-transfer waiver for a player.
