There is no better way. Gambling pays for the whole NFL.

So how can you purchase UConn lottery Tickets in CT yet not be able to place a bet on UConn in state??? My point is - we have very weak leadership in the state that can't fund flagship University in a more traditional way.

How much will this cost? Probably nothing.

I'm definitely not mad at them for using a method that works, but I am really sick of hearing about gambling in general.

It's pretty gross. There need to be more regulations on advertising.
