The NCAA has permanently revoked the eligibility of three Division I men’s basketball players from Fresno State and San Jose State after an investigation found they bet on their own games, manipulated performance to influence outcomes, and shared information to aid sports betting.

The student-athletes — Mykell Robinson, Steven Vasquez, and Jalen Weaver — were released from their teams and are no longer enrolled at their schools, the NCAA said Wednesday.

Vasquez and Robinson were Fresno State roommates during the 2023-24 season before Vasquez transferred to San Jose State.

How the Scheme Worked

The violations occurred during the 2024-25 regular season. Robinson and Vasquez coordinated over text messages in January 2025 to underperform in certain statistical categories in a game. The effort, combined with a third party, resulted in a $15,950 payout from a $2,200 bet, according to the NCAA.

Robinson also placed 13 daily fantasy sports prop bets totaling $454, winning $618 on one.

In addition, Robinson coordinated multiple bets on his Fresno State teammate Weaver, leading Weaver to place a $50 prop bet that resulted in a $260 payout.

The NCAA investigation began after Fresno State and a sports betting integrity monitor flagged suspicious bets on Robinson.

The enforcement staff found evidence that the three players shared betting line information to manipulate outcomes. Robinson and Vasquez did not cooperate with the investigation, while Weaver participated and acknowledged his violation.

No Penalties for Fresno State and San Jose State

The NCAA Committee on Infractions approved the findings but did not levy penalties against Fresno State or San Jose State.

The committee noted that Division I rules generally start with a permanent loss of eligibility for student-athletes who bet on their own games.

Fresno State finished with a 6-26 record last season — the worst in Bulldogs’ history. San Jose State went 15-20 during the 2024-25 season.
