The NCAA Committee on Infractions has issued three separate decisions relating to sports betting violations involving a former Temple men's basketball student-athlete and two former program staff members.
The cases concern former player Hysier Miller, former special assistant Camren Wynter and former graduate assistant Jaylen Bond - all of whom placed prohibited wagers on professional and collegiate sports.
According to the NCAA, the violations were uncovered after an integrity monitoring service flagged potential irregularities involving Temple men's basketball games. A joint investigation by NCAA enforcement staff and the university subsequently revealed that the three individuals acted independently and did not coordinate their betting activity.
Miller placed 39 parlay bets involving Temple men's basketball games and three bets against Temple between November 2022 and March 2024, totaling $473. Because his wagers involved his own team, the NCAA determined he violated honesty, sportsmanship and sports betting rules, resulting in permanent ineligibility under updated reinstatement guidelines introduced in 2023.
Wynter and Bond did not wager on Temple contests but placed numerous bets on other college and professional sports.
Wynter placed at least 52 impermissible wagers totaling about $9,642, while Bond placed 546 bets worth approximately $5,597 over nearly two years.
Both acknowledged they were aware of NCAA rules and had received education on gambling prohibitions.
Under the infractions process, Miller and Bond accepted negotiated resolutions, while Wynter's case was classified as Level II-standard due to his decision not to participate in that process.
Penalties for Wynter and Bond include a one-year show-cause order and a suspension from 10% of regular-season games if hired by an NCAA institution during that period.
These cases emerge amid broader concerns about sports betting's impact on college athletics. A recent NCAA study found that 36% of Division I men's basketball players experienced betting-related harassment on social media over the past year, with some receiving threatening messages from bettors after unsuccessful wagers.
NCAA President Charlie Baker has called on state regulators and operators to remove proposition bets on college athletes, citing risks to both athlete safety and competitive integrity.
The panel reviewing the cases comprised representatives from Oregon, Cleveland State and Oklahoma
