Fresno State Suspends Three Basketball Players Amid Gambling Investigation

Fresno State has suspended two of its leading men's basketball players, Jalen Weaver and Zaon Collins, and removed Mykell Robinson from the team amid an NCAA investigation into gambling. The university stated that Weaver and Collins are being withheld from competition as they review an eligibility matter, while Robinson has not played since January and is no longer on the roster. The investigation was prompted by reports that the players may have placed bets on games they participated in, which is against NCAA regulations. The Bulldogs, struggling with a 5-23 record and a ten-game losing streak, are facing added challenges without their top scorers, who averaged a combined 24.5 points per game. The NCAA's guidelines prohibit student-athletes from being involved in any sports betting activities, and Fresno State is in communication with the NCAA regarding the ongoing review. The situation marks a significant setback for a team already having a disappointing season.
