Fresno State Basketball Players Investigated for Alleged Gambling Violations

Three players are under scrutiny as Fresno State and the NCAA probe potential ties to sports betting within the program.

  • Fresno State guards Jalen Weaver and Zaon Collins were suspended from competition due to an ongoing investigation into alleged gambling violations.
  • Former player Mykell Robinson, who has not played since January 11 and is no longer on the roster, is also implicated in the inquiry.
  • The investigation began after the university received a tip about potential gambling activity, prompting Fresno State to notify the NCAA.
  • Sports betting by student-athletes violates NCAA rules, with penalties ranging from a one-year ban to permanent ineligibility depending on the circumstances.
  • Fresno State is enduring a historically poor season, currently holding a 5-22 record and facing additional challenges with this investigation.
