The NCAA is partnering with the FBI to help protect student-athletes from online exploitation. This effort aims to combat cyber-enabled crimes, including a form of blackmail known as sextortion. Sextortion involves threatening to share private sexual content to extort victims.

The FBI has seen a rise in such cases, particularly targeting minors, with devastating consequences. Further details on this partnership and the issue of online exploitation are available from the NCAA and the FBI, who are working together to address this growing concern and protect vulnerable individuals, including college athletes in the Waco area.
