The

-- obtained by TMZ -- says, "given IMG's increasing role in U.S. college sports over the last three years, it is appropriate to implement specific anti-gambling policies with respect to wagering on collegiate sporting events."

The memo -- sent from IMG's Senior V.P. John Raleigh -- also states that the policy, "prohibits gambling on collegiate sports even where such activity would otherwise be legal."

Perhaps most crushing to IMG employees -- the new policy also bans all NCAA basketball tournament pools ... "whether conducted on IMG premises or not."

Walker -- who last played in the NBA in 2008 -- is accused of putting the moves on an engaged woman a few months ago ... and then laughing at her jilted man when she dumped his ass.

It's all in a lawsuit filed Tuesday in Chicago -- in which Kevin Jenkins says he actually caught his lady having "an intimate moment" with Walker back in October -- but when he approached the two, "Mr. Walker taunted and laughed at Jenkins with the intent of causing him emotional distress."

As first reported by MediaTakeOut.com, Jenkins claims he became such an emotional basketcase afterward, he thought about killing himself.

Now, he wants Antoine to fork over $5,000,000 for ruining his life.

Erin Barry -- wife of Tony's former teammate Brent Barry -- just went to her website and wrote, "I DID NOT HAVE AN AFFAIR WITH TONY PARKER, nor did I 'pursue' Tony Parker."

She continues, "Unfortunately, because our divorces are occurring at the same time, great speculation has been cast on our friendship."

"My friendship with Tony Parker had nothing to do with the end of my marriage (which is painful enough without this added drama), and to assume that we had an affair is naïve, ridiculous, and completely misguided."

See the entire statement after the jump ...

They met on neutral ground ... at a hotel in the L.A. area. Tony was in town because his San Antonio Spurs played the Clippers last night -- but based on Eva's gestures and Tony's expressions ... we're guessing there was little hoops strategy discussed.

The folks from Rogaine tell TMZ they're more than happy to offer the reportedly follically-challenged QB a 3-month supply of the product.

Rogaine's PR people offer this sage advice to Tom: "He shouldn't just try and grow his hair to cover that bald spot...he should try and regrow the HAIR that belongs there!"

But sources connected with the case tell TMZ ... when Tony hired Orsinger, the lawyer didn't know another one of his clients -- former San Antonio Spurs teammate Brent Barry -- would have a connection to Parker's divorce.
