Fresno State Basketball Players Investigated for Betting on Their Own Games

Two suspended players and one removed from the team face allegations of violating NCAA gambling rules, prompting investigations by the university and NCAA.

  • Guards Jalen Weaver and Zaon Collins, two of Fresno State's top scorers, were suspended as the university investigates their involvement in sports gambling.
  • Former player Mykell Robinson, who last played on January 11, has been removed from the team and is also under investigation.
  • Reports indicate Weaver and Robinson allegedly bet on their team's underperformance in points and rebounds, violating NCAA rules that ban all forms of sports betting by student-athletes.
  • The investigation began after a tip to the university, leading to an internal review and subsequent involvement of the NCAA.
  • Fresno State is enduring its worst season in program history with a 5-23 record, compounded by the loss of three players during the ongoing inquiry.
