Ex-Temple basketball player Hysier
Miller bet on his team to lose multiple times, NCAA says
[November 22, 2025]
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.
His lawyer, Jason P. Bologna, said the NCAA did a “long and thorough
investigation” and found no evidence that Miller shaved points.
“Hysier gave them full access to his cell phone and bank account,
and he answered every question they asked him. He admitted to
placing parlay bets, but he denied shaving points in any game, and
the NCAA’s findings confirm that they accept Hysier was honest and
cooperative with their investigation,” Bologna said in a statement.
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.
The NCAA launched a campaign in 2023 urging state regulators and
gambling companies to remove prop bets on college sports from their
offerings.
Recently released findings of a new study found that 36% of Division
I men's basketball players reported experiencing social media abuse
related to sports betting within the last year. There were 29% who
reported interaction with a fellow student on campus who had placed
a bet on their teams.
Both of those figures were higher than reported by players in the
Football Bowl Subdivision, with 16% reporting negative or
threatening messages, and 26% interacting with another student who
had bet on their team.
