Ex-Temple basketball player Hysier Miller bet on his team to lose multiple
times, NCAA says
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) --- Former Temple guard Hysier Miller placed dozens of bets
on Owls games, including some against his team, the NCAA announced Friday.
The NCAA deemed Miller permanently ineligible after finding he placed 42 parlay
bets totaling $473 on Temple games during the 2022-23 and 2023-24 seasons.
Three of those bets were against his team, the NCAA said.
Miller started every game for the Owls during those seasons. The NCAA found he
used sportsbook accounts belonging to other people to bet.
The NCAA's enforcement staff interviewed Miller on Oct. 10, 2024, and he
admitted to placing parlay bets on Temple games but did not remember placing
any bets against his team, the NCAA said.
Additionally, former Temple special assistant coach Camren Wynter and former
graduate assistant Jaylen Bond were found to have violated NCAA rules by
betting on professional and collegiate sports. The NCAA did not find any bets
involving Temple by either Wynter or Bond. Both coaches received one-year,
show-cause orders and a suspension of 10% of regular-season contests during
their first year of employment.
The NCAA did not find the three cases to be connected.
It's the latest gambling infraction uncovered by the NCAA, which revoked the
eligibility of six men's college basketball players earlier this month as a
result of three separate sports-betting cases that involved a power-conference
school in Arizona State and allegations of players throwing games to lose by
more points than the spread.
That followed nearly three dozen people being arrested last month, including an
NBA player and coach, for what federal law enforcement officials described as
their involvement in various illicit gambling activities. Just this week, UFC
President and CEO Dana White said he was in touch with the FBI regarding a
match that involved unusual betting patterns.
For its part, the NCAA said last month it was investigating at least 30 current
or former players for gambling allegations. The NCAA also banned three college
basketball players in September for betting on their own games at Fresno State
and San Jose State.
