The NCAA 2025 tournament begins on Tuesday night with two of the “first four games” prepared to determine the seeds on the support.
While each team hopes that each game can win in which they have a participation, there will be millions of sports bets that will also be held where customers of sports books also expect victory.
In turn, NCAA launched a campaign related to bets on Tuesday focused on what, unfortunately, has become a big problem during the madness of March: the harassment of players and teams.

The video, which was launched on social media platforms, is titled “Don’t Be a loser”, in which the governing body is asking basketball fans not to bring their deficiencies in the players’ betting market.
“Only a loser would harass university athletes after losing a bet, but it happens almost every day,” says the video.
The American Gaming Association announced on Thursday that it is expected that the $ 3.1 billion will be legally stationed by the Male and female NCAA tournaments, which is not only an increase of 12% year after year, but it doubles more than the estimate of $ 1.39 billion in the Super Bowl Lix last month.

But since the federal prohibition of sports bets was scored in 2018, we have seen too many situations in which athletes, both university and professionals, have received direct messages and more with failed apostators who request money, ridiculing them or even worse, emitting death threats.

The NCAA revealed the data trends that showed 1 in 3 “high profile athletes receive abusive messages from someone with an interest interest.” In addition, 90% of harassment is generated online OA through social networks.
For Marness Marness specifically, a separate study from the NCAA in October 2024 found that 80% of the online abuse addressed the NCAA tournament players.
And from that online abuse, the study found that almost three times more threats were received by women’s players compared to men’s players.

“Angry fans are sending numerous messages and abusive threats to athletes, public and privately, due to the bets lost in the athlete’s performance in a game,” said the president of the NCAA, Charlie Baker, in a press release. “These actions severely threaten the mental health and well -being of athletes, while damaging the university athletics environment. We need fans to improve it.”
