US EditionNCAA permanently revokes eligibility of 3 players for betting on their own games
- The NCAA has permanently disqualified three Division I basketball players from two California-based universities for wagering on their own games during the 2024-25 season.
- The inquiry began after Fresno State and an integrity monitor for sports wagering flagged unusual prop bets involving Mykell Robinson, which ultimately revealed violations including players deliberately altering their performances.
- Robinson placed multiple bets on teammate Jalen Weaver and exchanged betting line information with him, while Robinson and Steven Vasquez communicated plans to underperform during games.
- Robinson made 13 fantasy prop bets totaling $454 and won at least $618 on one occasion, while Weaver earned $260 from a $50 parlay; additionally, a payout of $15,950 was shared among bettors, according to the NCAA.
- All three athletes were released from their teams and have since left their institutions. The schools involved did not face any sanctions, and the NCAA is currently evaluating new rules aimed at targeting enforcement on gambling activities that threaten the integrity of collegiate competitions.
