Fresno State Men's Basketball Team Under Investigation for Suspicious Betting Activity

Fresno State guards Jalen Weaver and Zaon Collins are reportedly tied to a betting investigation and were ineligible to play against Air Force Saturday afternoon.

Guard Mykell Robinson, who has not played since a Jan. 11 loss to Nevada and has since been removed from the roster, also is involved in the investigation, said multiple university sources with knowledge of the probe and were granted anonymity by The Bee because they’re not authorized to discuss the matter, according to the Fresno Bee.

The school issued a statement to that media outlet.

“Fresno State men’s basketball student-athletes Jalen Weaver and Zaon Collins are being withheld from competition as the university reviews an eligibility matter.”

The Mountain West Conference also acknowledged the investigation on Saturday in a statement: “The Mountain West has been in communication with Fresno State as the institution processes a review of an eligibility matter.”

No further details were known as of Saturday afternoon.

The NCAA prohibits betting on games or providing information to any individuals involved in or associated with any type of sports betting activities involving intercollegiate, professional or amateur games or competition.

Air Force beat Fresno State Saturday 72-69.  The Bulldogs covered the +4 spread.
