WACO, Texas (AP) — A former Baylor athletic official has received a show-cause penalty from the NCAA after he placed nearly 3,000 impermissible daily fantasy bets on professional and college games over a five-year period. Those included 113 involving Baylor teams and student-athletes. The NCAA says Sam Hancock, a former director of resource development at Baylor, placed 2,950 impermissible bets totaling $45,979 on three different sports betting platforms from July 2019 through September 2024. He acknowledged that he engaged in sports betting before his employment at Baylor and continued to do so after being hired, despite receiving rules education from the school and knowing that his conduct violated NCAA rules.
