An NCAA investigation into the men’s basketball program at Temple University found two staffers and a former player violated the organization’s sports betting rules.
The NCAA has deemed former guard Hysier Miller permanently ineligible for wagering on professional and collegiate sports, including his own team. NCAA bylaws prohibit wagering by any player, coach or team official on NCAA events. The organization considered lifting its ban on pro sports wagering, but the decision was rescinded after a vote by DI schools.
NCAA investigation into Miller finally comes to a close
According to NCAA enforcement staff, Miller placed 39 impermissible wagers between November 2022 and March 2024 on Temple’s men’s basketball team. Miller also placed several wagers against Temple, with the impermissible wagers totaling $473. Miller only included Temple in parlays with no evidence of the guard placing a single bet on the team.
Miller’s wagering was flagged by U.S. Integrity, a sports integrity monitoring service, which notified the NCAA, leading to the organization’s probe into the matter. Temple agreed to collaborate with the NCAA on the investigation, leading to the latest enforcement.
“The key takeaway here is the NCAA found no evidence that Hysier Miller shaved points. The NCAA conducted a long and thorough investigation before reaching that conclusion. Hysier gave them full access to his cellphone and bank account, and he answered every question they asked him,” Miller’s attorney Jason Balogna told Fox News Digital.
Potential misconduct by Miller was first reported in November 2024 after federal authorities announced they were looking into alleged point-shaving involving Temple men’s basketball after U.S. Integrity detected irregular line movement ahead of a contest against UAB.
Miller, a former leading scorer for Temple, was set to join the Virginia Tech basketball team before being dismissed from the school amid the NCAA’s probe into his illicit bets.
Temple staff members violate NCAA rules
The NCAA’s investigation also found misconduct by Camren Wynter, a former special assistant in the Temple men’s basketball program. In 2023, Wynter placed more than 50 impermissible wagers on both amateur and professional sports, including nearly $2,000 on college football. In total, Wynter’s impermissible wagers reached roughly $9,642, but they never included Temple athletic contests. As a result, Wynter was handed a one-year show-cause order by the NCAA that requires rules education on sports betting if hired by an NCAA institution during that time. He is also suspended from 10% of men’s basketball regular-season games during the first year of employment during the show-cause order.
Jaylen Bond, a former graduate assistant for the Temple basketball program, was also implicated in the NCAA’s investigation. Over nearly two years, Bond placed 546 illicit wagers that totaled approximately $5,597. The bets included professional sports, along with college football and basketball. Bond also didn’t wager on any Temple athletic contests but admitted to NCAA staff that he wagered on college sports despite knowing NCAA gambling rules. He also received education on the organization’s standards from Temple.
“This conduct does not align with Temple’s expectations or the NCAA’s bylaws,” said Temple in a statement. “Upon learning of these issues, Temple promptly took appropriate remedial actions. The university remains committed to comprehensive compliance education for all athletics personnel to ensure continued adherence to NCAA and conference standards.”
NCAA’s recent basketball woes
Earlier this month, the NCAA uncovered gambling infractions by six men’s basketball players at three different schools. The probe included student-athletes from New Orleans, Mississippi Valley State and Arizona State. They are no longer enrolled at the schools.
The sports betting violations involved betting-related game manipulation and/or providing gambling-related information to third parties. Student-athletes at all three institutions also knowingly provided false or misleading information to the NCAA’s enforcement team.
In 2025, the NCAA also levied lifetime bans on three former Fresno State players. The organization also banned three Eastern Michigan student-athletes who failed to cooperate with an investigation after suspicious wagers were flagged by monitoring service IC360.
