This college athlete knew better than some of the pros.

Duke catcher Chad Knight knew to stay away from sports betting as an athlete, but with that now over following the Blue Devils being ousted from the 2024 College World Series, he took to social media to bid adieu to college baseball and welcome some new money-making ventures.

“Goodbye college baseball,” Knight tweeted. “Hello Draftkings.”

Unlike professional sports, NCAA regulators banned athletes from participating in any and all sports betting, regardless of age.

Sports betting is legal in 38 states for anyone 21 or older (18 in New Hampshire), but the NCAA wants to avoid any hiccups or grey area involving the vast world of sports betting.

DraftKings responded to Knight’s tweet with “What’s good, Chad?” and a Tiger Woods handshake meme, to which Knight responded, while referencing DraftKings promo codes: “So what’s this free play concept people talk of? Sounds like a great opportunity!”.

Knight later revealed his DraftKings ambitions, stating: “I’m looking to create generational wealth in one night.”

Most people aren’t making generational wealth while betting on sports, but, at the minimum, Knight knows that he could not bet on sports while he still had eligibility with Duke.

This is more than we can say for many athletes, as the sports betting scandals have entrenched professional competition now more than in years past.

On Tuesday, three major league baseball players players, alongside two minor leaguers, were suspended for wagering on baseball.

Tucupita Marcano was banned for life for betting on baseball when he was a member of the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Marcano lost every single Pirates bet that got him banned and won just 4.3 percent of all of his MLB-related bets overall.

Now that Knight can legally bet on sports, he hopes to have more success than Marcano.
