NCAA: Ex-Temple men's basketball player bet against own team - ESPN

A former Temple men's basketball player placed dozens of bets on Owls games over two seasons, including wagering against his own team, the NCAA announced Friday.

Former Temple guard Hysier Miller was deemed permanently ineligible after the NCAA found he placed 42 bets totaling $473 on parlays that included 23 Owls games during the 2022-23 and 2023-24 seasons. Three of the bets were against his team, according to the NCAA.

Miller started every game for Temple in those two seasons. The NCAA found that he used sportsbook accounts belonging to other people to bet.

When the NCAA's enforcement staff interviewed Miller on Oct. 10, 2024, he admitted to placing parlay bets on Temple games but did not remember placing any bets against his team or the number of bets placed on the Owls, according to the NCAA.

«The key takeaway here is the NCAA found no evidence that Hysier Miller shaved points,» Miller's attorney, Jason Bologna, told ESPN in a statement. «The NCAA conducted a long and thorough investigation before reaching that conclusion. 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.»

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, according to the release announcing the violations. 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
