Overview
- Former Fresno State and San Jose State players Mykell Robinson, Steven Vasquez and Jalen Weaver were ruled permanently ineligible for betting on their own games, with two found to have manipulated performance.
- An integrity monitor and a Nevada sportsbook alert in January triggered the probe that uncovered texts planning Robinson’s underperformance in a Jan. 7 game, producing a $15,950 payout on about $2,200 in wagers.
- Investigators said Robinson made 13 DFS and prop bets tied to his own stats and also bet on Weaver, while Weaver placed a $50 parlay involving himself, Robinson and a third player.
- Robinson and Vasquez declined to cooperate with enforcement staff; Weaver admitted to violations and accepted the punishment.
- The NCAA separately said 13 former players from Eastern Michigan, Temple, Arizona State, New Orleans, North Carolina A&T and Mississippi Valley are facing betting allegations, with names withheld and no school penalties sought as cases continue.
