About Us
Know Your Play explores how money, stress, and expectations influence decisions during college — including decisions involving sports betting that are increasingly visible on campuses.
Why This Matters
College is often the first time students experience greater financial independence, increased academic pressure, and new social environments — all of which influence decision-making.
At the same time, betting — particularly sports wagering — has become more visible in campus communities.
Financial knowledge, stress management, and expectations shape how decisions are made — especially under pressure.
Know Your Play connects these conversations to build a foundation that supports informed choices across campus life.
