Ex-Eastern Michigan basketball players refused to cooperate with NCAA gambling investigation
Three former players refused to cooperate with the NCAA probe into suspicious betting on multiple Eastern Michigan games from the 2024-25 season, hindering violation determination.
- On Friday, the NCAA announced that counsel for Jalin Billingsley, Da'Sean Nelson and Jalen Terry notified enforcement staff on March 17 they would not cooperate and asked to destroy phone images.
- Unusual first-half wagering was detected on Jan. 14 and two other games, prompting enforcement staff to open a collaborative investigation with Eastern Michigan.
- Counsel had the players' phones imaged on Jan. 29 after consulting legal counsel, but enforcement staff were refused interviews through counsel, blocking determination of betting violations by Jalin Billingsley, Da'Sean Nelson and Jalen Terry.
- Refusing to cooperate constitutes a Level I violation, but Jalin Billingsley, Da'Sean Nelson and Jalen Terry were seniors with no collegiate eligibility remaining, so they were not sanctioned.
- That development comes as investigations have ramped up in recent weeks, with the Eastern Michigan case the first NCAA matter completed amid 34 arrests and probes of 13 athletes at six schools.
