Maybe this will generate some funding to upgrade some stuff around the program and campus.

I don't really know what this means. Genius is who the NCAA went to for stats a couple of years ago if I recall, but I believe it was only basketball and football. So now we're selling the data back to Genius?

Embracing the gambling side of things feels inevitable. If it helps prevent student-athletes from gambling (a la Calvin Ridley) then I guess it makes sense on that front. And squeezing money out of every possible revenue stream is not new.

Just a curious partnership. Wonder if I can get any actual details on what this means while I'm in Cleveland...
