NCAA President Charlie Baker and other college sports leaders have actually raised concerns about bettors attacking athletes on social networks for their play and there have been scattered accusations, including some previously this year, against programs including wagering.

The NCAA said Wednesday that "several sports betting-related infractions by employee at NCAA schools" have been solved in the last few years and noted its enforcement staff is dealing with issuing notifications of claims in numerous ongoing gaming cases.
