Overview
- The NCAA’s Committee on Infractions issued lifetime ineligibility Friday to Cedquavious Hunter, Dyquavian Short and Jamond Vincent (New Orleans), Donovan Sanders and Alvin Stredic (Mississippi Valley State), and Chatton “BJ” Freeman (Arizona State), citing betting-related violations and failures to cooperate.
- Investigators found the New Orleans trio conspired with outside bettors and manipulated performance in seven games from December through January to lose by more than the point spread, including a Dec. 28, 2024 game where a teammate reported being told not to score.
- At Mississippi Valley State, the NCAA concluded Sanders provided betting information for two games and Stredic for one, with evidence of monetary offers tied to a Jan. 6, 2025 loss at Alabama A&M after earlier remarks about “throwing the game” before Dec. 21.
- Freeman was found to have shared betting-related information multiple times with former Fresno State player Mykell Robinson and with his then-girlfriend through daily fantasy accounts, and he resolved his case through a negotiated agreement acknowledging violations.
- The NCAA said the three cases are not connected, reported multiple instances of noncooperation by athletes, and media outlets have reported overlaps between actors in these cases and federal NBA gambling indictments still under investigation.
