NEW YORK – The BIG EAST Conference and Integrity Compliance 360 (IC360), the global technology and advisory platform for integrity and regulatory solutions in sports, sports betting, iGaming, and prediction markets, are proud to build on their comprehensive partnership.
"We are pleased to announce our enhanced partnership with IC360," said Vince Nicastro, BIG EAST Deputy Commissioner and Chief Operating Officer. "The integrity of our competitions and the well-being of our participants remains of utmost importance. In the rapidly changing sports gambling industry, the partnership now allows us to not only provide best in class integrity monitoring of BIG EAST competitions but to offer robust educational resources and proactive deterrence and detection systems to our schools."
Building upon the conference’s existing use of IC360’s Integrity Monitoring services for real-time oversight and suspicious activity alerts across all sanctioned events, the BIG EAST is adding ProhiBet and a comprehensive Digital Education platform to provide a holistic approach to compliance and prevention. The implementation of ProhiBet allows BIG EAST member institutions to participate in a comprehensive network of leagues, schools, and platforms who are proactively blocking prohibited individuals from wagering on markets in which they may have inside information or undue influence.
"We are thrilled to deepen our partnership with the BIG EAST Conference and expand the suite of tools available to their member institutions," said Scott Sadin, Co-CEO of IC360. "The BIG EAST's proactive commitment to integrity monitoring, prohibited betting deterrence, and education powerfully demonstrates its commitment to protecting its student-athletes and competitions. The regulated sports betting ecosystem is constantly evolving and expanding. This kind of comprehensive, multi-layered engagement isn't just commendable, it's essential."
To empower stakeholders in an evolving regulatory landscape, the BIG EAST is deploying IC360’s customized e-learning platform across its member institutions. This immersive curriculum provides conference-specific modules that turn complex policies into actionable knowledge and allows administrators to track progress through digital certification. The BIG EAST is ensuring that every athlete and administrator is not just informed, but fully equipped to protect the integrity of their events.
