NCAA Probes Betting Scandal Involving Ex-USF Guard Marcus Williams, 30 Players Under Investigation
  • In October, the NCAA revealed it had opened cases involving about 30 current and former men’s basketball players over potential sports betting violations.

  • Robinson was previously ruled permanently ineligible for conspiring with a former Fresno State teammate on a gambling scheme centered on prop bets tied to Robinson’s statistics, including unders bets for a Jan. 7, 2025 game against Colorado State.

  • Williams allegedly provided points, 3-pointers, rebounds, and assists data to Mykell Robinson and urged bets on the over for those stats in multiple games.

  • The NCAA alleges former University of San Francisco guard Marcus Williams shared game statistics with a bettor, leading to eligibility ineligibility for at least nine of the 2024-25 games.

  • Williams’ agent, Paolo Zamorano, says Williams did not bet on games or his own performance and apologized for interactions with a former AAU teammate.

  • The NCAA has sanctioned more than a dozen players from eight schools for betting violations this year, with players at Western Michigan, Wisconsin, Dayton, and Eastern Kentucky also held out amid investigations.
