NCAA Bans Ex-Temple Guard for Betting on Own Team, Sanctions Two Former Staffers

An integrity alert tied to a sharp pregame line move prompted the probe that found no point-shaving.

Overview

  • Former guard Hysier Miller was ruled permanently ineligible after the NCAA found he placed 42 parlay wagers totaling $473 on Temple games across two seasons, including three bets against the Owls.
  • The NCAA said Miller’s wagers, all parlays that included 23 Temple games, were made using sportsbook accounts belonging to other people.
  • Former staffers Camren Wynter and Jaylen Bond received one-year show-cause orders and must sit 10% of regular-season games in their first year of employment, with no evidence they bet on Temple contests.
  • Case details show Wynter made more than 50 bets totaling $9,642, including $1,923 on college football, while Bond placed 546 wagers totaling $5,597 with roughly $200 on college sports.
  • The investigation was triggered by a U.S. Integrity alert after a six-point line move before the March 7, 2024 UAB–Temple game, as the NCAA also reports 14 players ruled ineligible this year and plans to allow pro-sports wagering by athletes and staff starting Saturday while keeping the college betting ban.
