NCAA V CHRISTIE Presented By Da Sean Dykes

NCAA V. CHRISTIE Presented By: Da. Sean Dykes, Kurt Mullins, and Joseph Lofton

SUMMARY OF CASE v Multiple professional corporations file several motions against the state of New Jersey. v Preliminary injunction seeking to enjoin defendants of the case. v The big issue at stake in the case is whether the 1992 Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (“PASPA”), which limits single-game sports betting to Nevada, is constitutional.

P. A. S. P. A v Attempts to define the legal status of sports betting throughout the United States. v This act effectively outlawed sports betting nationwide, excluding a few states. v Congress provided a one-year window of opportunity from the effective date of PASPA (January 1, 1993) for states which operated licensed casino gaming for the previous ten-year period to pass laws permitting sports wagering.

ARGUMENTS v Prevention of the encouragement of sports betting. v Gambling will lead to the tarnishing of reputations for professional sports and other organizations alike. v The way in which the consumers view the different sports will become skewed.

AFFIRMATIVE RULING v Violation of the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act of 1992. v State of New Jersey lacks credible reasoning for the legalization of sports betting. v Aside from potential revenue gain, the state of New Jersey may seek to find financial gain elsewhere.
