Mountain West Basketball Players Reportedly Bet on Their Own Games

Published 3 weeks ago2 minute read

A new report has surfaced sharing details of betting allegations against Fresno State men’s basketball players.

According to ABC30 in Fresno, California, two of the three Fresno State men’s basketball student-athletes accused of sports gambling allegedly placed bets on games they actively played in. ABC30 adds that two of the players allegedly placed prop bets on points and rebounds on Bulldog men’s basketball games. The third athlete allegedly placed bets on pro sports.

According to ESPN, Fresno State has removed junior forward Mykell Robinson from the team and suspended guards Jalen Weaver and Zaon Collins for their potential ties to sports gambling.

 

Of the three, Weaver is the highest scorer, averaging 12.5 points per game, which is second on the team. Collins is averaging 12.0 points per game and Robinson is averaging 10.3 points per game. Robinson is also second on the team with 6.2 rebounds per game.

It’s not clear which athletes are accused of betting on Bulldogs games. NCAA rules prohibit student-athletes, coaches and athletics staff members, regardless of their sport or division of competition, from betting on games or providing information to anyone involved in or associated with any type of sports betting activities involving intercollegiate, professional or amateur games or competition. That includes pools, parlays and prop bets, in-game betting and single-game wagers.

Fresno State is 5-23 this season and just lost on Saturday to Air Force 72-69 in overtime. The Bulldogs are 1-16 in Mountain West Conference play.

Fresno State has a week off before playing Boise State next Saturday, March 1st.
