NCAA, Venmo’s partner to protect student-athletes
Last month, according to ESPN’s David Purdum, NCAA and online payment service Venmo announced a partnership with abuse and harassment of college athletes.
The NCAA-VENMO Partnership provides a dedicated hotline for college athletes to report abuse and harassment, account security education, and increase monitoring.
According to NCAA officials, most of the harassment against Venmo comes in the form of gamblers’ payments, and they lose the bets related to athletes.
Venmo’s security team will now monitor social media trends and events during the game, such as “last second missed shot score”, which has led to a surge in Purdum’s hostile interactions.
Additionally, Venmo said it will provide best practice guides for athletes to “safe” on the platform.
“Venmo will continuously monitor student-athletes’ accounts to help mitigate influx requests based on game performance and work directly with them to implement additional security measures as needed,” the release said.
NCAA research shows that nearly 20% of online abuse and harassment targeting college basketball and soccer players on social media is associated with sports betting.
