In this episode of Shoresides, we sit down with sports-betting expert Steve Bittenbender to unpack what legal mobile sports betting now means for North Carolina. We dive into how apps like FanDuel and DraftKings—and the tax revenue they generate—are reshaping the financial landscape for smaller college programs, including the Seahawks. We also confront the human side of this shift: how are communities, institutions, and individuals responding to the perils of problem gambling?
