"Marcus Williams, a guard who played for San Francisco from 2022-25, was ruled ineligible after the NCAA found he provided information to former Fresno State player Mykell Robinson ahead of at least nine games during the 2024-25 season. Williams shared information with Robinson about his points, 3-pointers made, rebounds and assists, according to the NCAA, which found text messages between the two after imaging Robinson's phone. In each instance, Williams directed Robinson to take the over on his statistics, according to the NCAA."
"'Marcus regrets that he responded with confidence when a friend and former AAU teammate reached out to him about published betting lines for his stats (over/unders) on various games, but he certainly never told anyone to bet on his under(s) or told anyone to bet against his team,' Zamorano said in a statement to ESPN. 'Unfortunately, Marcus did not appreciate the seriousness of the interactions with his friend and former AAU teammate and he would like to apologize to the University of San Francisco for this negative attention,' he added."
Marcus Williams, a guard at the University of San Francisco from 2022-25, was ruled ineligible after the NCAA found he provided information to former Fresno State player Mykell Robinson ahead of at least nine games during the 2024-25 season. Williams shared details about his points, 3-pointers made, rebounds and assists and directed Robinson to take the over on his statistics, according to the NCAA, which found text messages between the two after imaging Robinson's phone. Williams's agent said Williams never bet on college basketball or his own performance and offered an apology for not appreciating the seriousness of the interactions. Robinson was previously ruled permanently ineligible after an investigation found he conspired on a gambling scheme centered on prop bets on Robinson's statistics in a Jan. 7, 2025 game against Colorado State.
