Two Mississippi State football players were discovered to have engaged in sports gambling on NFL and NBA games earlier this year, according to documents obtained by Yahoo Sports. The activity occurred in February and involved the use of the Kalshi platform.

The documents reveal that the two Mississippi State football players placed bets on the Super Bowl and NBA games using Kalshi in February. Details regarding the specific amounts wagered or the players' positions within the team were not immediately available.

The discovery raises concerns about potential violations of NCAA rules prohibiting athletes from gambling on sports events.
