Pac-12 plans to consider releasing injury reports, selling data rights to capitalize on sports betting wave
The Pac-12 plans to discuss releasing weekly injury reports in 2023. The conference is also considering selling its data rights to capitalize on the betting wave sweeping through college athletics. In March, the MAC sold its statistics to UK-based Genius Sports for an undisclosed sum. The idea of licensing statistics is to give a rightsholder exclusive control over "latency" between when the action occurs and when it hits betting screens. Major game-fixing scandals in college sports have averaged one a decade since the 1940s. For example, in the NFL, injury report is required three times per week.
