'Sports betting has increased interest in sports of all kinds, including college sports, which is great for our fans,' NCAA president Charlie Baker said in a May release announcing survey results on the prevalence of sports betting among young adults.

The amount sportsbook brands have spent on national TV commercials annually has increased from $21.4 million in 2019 to $314.6 million in 2022 and sports betting ads have increased by more than threefold, according to data from iSpot, a company that measures TV advertising and audiences. With that comes lucrative partnerships with sportsbooks and new advertising revenue streams. Sports betting is more prevalent than ever before in American history. Results from a May survey from the American Gaming Association estimated 39.2 million American adults had placed a traditional sports wager in the past 12 months. Now, 56% of the population resides in jurisdictions that have launched regulated sportsbooks. Just five years ago, before the Supreme Court's ruling, roughly 1% of Americans lived in states with legal betting. Now, with more than half the nation offering legal betting, professional leagues and collegiate sports face a new reality and a straightforward business decision about whether to participate in a growing revenue stream that is not without risk. The landmark decision brought sports betting to the forefront and put more focus on the policies leagues are relying on as the landscape evolves. MLB and the NBA, NCAA, NFL and NHL fought a nearly 10-year legal battle with New Jersey to stop the state from legalizing sports betting and, in 2018, lost in the U.S.
