NGCB Announces May Arrest In Fresno State Basketball Betting Scandal
Court records do not show any of the involved athletes as Clark County inmates
IMAGNThe Nevada Gaming Control Board (NGCB) announced late Thursday that an individual involved in the Fresno State sports betting scandal was arrested in May. The agency did not release the name of the person arrested, and indicated that “several additional suspects remain outstanding, and criminal charges are being actively pursued.”An online search of Clark County Detention Center records revealed that none of the players named in the scandal — Mykell Robinson, Steven Vasquez, and Jalen Weaver — were inmates as of Monday morning.
The NCAA ruled all three are permanently ineligible to play college basketball and none are currently enrolled at their schools. Gambling is a violation of the organization’s ethical conduct rules, and automatically results in a ban. When news of the scandal broke last September, Robinson and Weaver were enrolled at Fresno State and Vasquez had graduated from San Jose State, where he transferred after playing for three years at Fresno State.
The three were roommates at Fresno State during the 2023-24 school year. Robinson allegedly “altered his performance” in a Jan. 7, 2025 game against Colorado State so wagers placed by Vasquez and Weaver would pay out on under bets made on a legal sports betting platform.
The wagering operator reported unusual activity that resulted in an NCAA investigation that revealed the scheme. Robinson, Vasquez, and an unnamed person bet a total of $2,200 on Robinson’s statistical unders for the game, and the bets cashed for $15,950.Per the investigation by the NCAA Infractions Committee, Robinson also placed 13 prop bets on daily fantasy platforms between Dec.
11, 2024 and Jan. 11, 2025, and Vasquez and Weaver bet on themselves and each other after discussing their respective prop betting lines.Update on other scandal casesThe Fresno State scandal is one of a handful playing out in courts across the U.
