Overview
- The NCAA Committee on Infractions revoked the eligibility of Mykell Robinson, Steven Vasquez and Jalen Weaver for betting on their own games, and all three are off their teams and no longer enrolled.
- Investigators detailed a Jan. 7 scheme in which Robinson underperformed after coordinating with Vasquez, turning a combined $2,200 in prop bets into a $15,950 payout, alongside multiple DFS prop wagers by Robinson on himself and a teammate.
- Robinson and Vasquez declined to cooperate with enforcement staff, while Weaver admitted violations; Weaver also placed a $50 parlay involving himself and others that paid $260.
- In a separate action, enforcement staff is alleging sports-betting violations by 13 former players from Arizona State, Eastern Michigan, Temple, New Orleans, North Carolina A&T and Mississippi Valley, with names withheld pending the infractions process.
- The NCAA cited integrity monitoring, texts and social-media messages to substantiate unusual wagering activity, and President Charlie Baker urged regulators to curb prop bets as the association monitors more than 22,000 contests annually.
