A North Carolina state lawmaker has filed a bill to ban prop bets on college sports in the state, following the call of the NCAA president and similar bans in other states. Durham Democratic Rep. Marcia Morey, a former U.S. Olympic swimmer and NCAA enforcement staffer, was fierce opponent of the legalization of mobile sports betting statewide. Mobile sports betting launched in March and bettors in North Carolina wagered nearly $660 million in the first few weeks. Representative Morey joined Jeff Hamlin to discuss the bill.
