New Jersey sportsbooks halt Citrus Bowl betting due to Drew Brees

New Jersey sports bettors were shocked when the odds for the Citrus Bowl were pulled on Friday. The reason is because of Drew Brees' business relationship with the sportsbook PointBet. Pointbet partnered up with Brees in 2021 for a lucrative endorsement deal in which Brees received an equity stake. Brees was recently featured in a poorly-thought-out promotional stunt for PointsBet in an attempt to draw attention to the conflict of interest.

Purdue-LSU Citrus Bowl is off-limits because of the hiring of Brees as a coach. Kickoff is scheduled for Monday, Jan. 2.

Drew Brees has been appointed as the Interim Assistant Coach for the Purdue Boilermakers. PointsBet has decided to end its ambassador partnership agreement with Drew.
