“Until a couple of years ago, if you wanted to bet on sports, you were going to a bookie or traveling to Vegas. Now, essentially everyone has a casino in their pocket.”
I joined @NewsNation to discuss this morning’s Higher Education Subcommittee hearing on the rise of sports gambling on college campuses and the need for stronger education and safeguards for students.
When you start betting on the player, the player becomes the target.
@RepMarkHarrisNC asks Dr. Durkin how prop bets can lead to harassment, threats, and pressure on student-athletes to alter their performance.
Chairman @RepWalberg asks Dr. Durkin, Associate Professor at the University of Mississippi, what colleges can learn from schools already teaching students about the risks of gambling—and how universities can strengthen prevention efforts.
How can colleges catch gambling before it spirals?
@CongressmanGT asks Dr. Lindsey Mortenson, Chief Mental Health Officer at the University of Michigan, about the value of screening students for gambling-related problems.
Her message: keep screening brief and practical — and make sure students can get immediate support when they need it. ⬇️
Subcommittee Vice Chair @RepBaumgartner delivered the following opening statement during today’s hearing titled, “The Rise of Sports Gambling on College Campuses.”

Today, we honor the brave men and women who have served our country and defended our freedoms.
We are forever grateful for their service and sacrifice.
God bless our veterans! 🇺🇸

Every student deserves a safe classroom, free from antisemitism.
An @EdWorkforceCmte investigation uncovered antisemitic materials in schools nationwide, including Philadelphia.
Thank you to @NAVIvalues for helping to expose this.

Looks like colleges actually CAN lower prices.
New data show students are paying less, on average, than a decade ago.
Committee Republicans will keep pushing for lower costs, greater accountability, and better outcomes.

Sports gambling is easier than ever for college students. But what starts as a small bet can lead to debt, addiction, and trouble in school.
On November 11, the Subcommittee on Higher Education and Workforce Development will examine the risks of sports gambling and what colleges can do to help students.

🚨 NEW REPORT: Antisemitism and political activism have compromised the American Psychological Association.
Committee Republicans’ report reveals how ideological bias has infiltrated the organization that shapes the future of psychology in America, raising serious questions about its credibility and commitment to scientific integrity.
The APA should be guided by science and evidence—not political agendas.

Students shouldn't be punished for stating a biological fact.
This is basic science.
