A former Temple men’s basketball athlete is now permanently intelligible after the NCAA reported he placed numerous parlays on Temple during his time with the program.

According to an NCAA report, former Temple Owl men’s basketball player Hysier Miller placed numerous bets on and against the Temple men’s basketball team.

Additionally, former Temple special assistant coach Camren Wynter and Jalen Bond, a former men’s basketball graduate assistant, were found to have placed numerous bets on both college and professional sports, but not Temple.

Admitted to Placing Bets on Temple

The NCAA initiated an investigation against Temple University after a sports integrity monitoring service notified NCAA enforcement staff that there were potential issues concerning Temple men’s basketball games.

The investigation revealed that from Nov. 7, 2022, through March 2, 2024, Miller placed 39 bets on the Temple men’s basketball team, and three against the team, for a total of $473. Each of the bets were legs of a separate parlay.

Miller interviewed with the NCAA enforcement agency and admitted to placing bets on Temple, however he said he did not recall placing bets against the team.

Miller played three seasons in total for the Temple Owls, from 2021 through 2024 and played in 91 games with the program. In the 2022-2023 and 2023-2024 seasons, he played and started in all 76 games for the Owls. He averaged 10.6 points per game for the program.

Miller is now intelligible for the NCAA. He can only be reinstated through the assistance of another NCAA school.

Staff Also Found to Have Placed Bets

The investigation also revealed that special assistant coach Wynter placed at least 52 impermissible bets for a total of approximately $9,642 on professional and collegiate sports, including $1,923 in bets on college football. No bets were found to have been placed on Temple athletics.

During the investigation, Wynter acknowledged he placed the bets knowing they violated NCAA rules.

Similarly, the investigation found graduate assistant Bond placed 546 impermissible bets over the course of nearly two years for a total of $5,597 on professional and collegiate sports. He acknowledged he bet on the games despite knowing sports betting violated NCAA rules.

Penalties for the two include:

• A one-year show-cause order. If either individual is hired by an NCAA school during that time, he will be required to lead a rules education presentation on sports betting with men’s basketball staff and student-athletes
• A suspension from 10% of the men’s basketball regular-season contests (the equivalent of three regular season games) during their first year of employment during the show-cause order

Rules May Change By This Weekend

The NCAA may actually change its sports betting rules starting Saturday, Nov. 22, if a recent rule change is not amended. The Division I Board of Directors recently voted to delay the effective date of a rule change that would allow NCAA student-athletes to bet on professional sports.

Under its legislative process, the NCAA allows a rule change to be rescinded within 30 days of becoming final if two thirds of the division’s members submit a request supporting its rescission.

If not voted on by tonight at 5 p.m., student-athletes, staff, and coaches will be allowed to bet on professional sports moving forward.
