"The NCAA said Wednesday it had reached a negotiated settlement in the case with Marcus Williams based on information the organization had discovered in an investigation of former Fresno State player Mykell Robinson. The NCAA said phone records showed that Williams gave information to Robinson nine times to bet on him exceeding various totals set in his games in the 2024-25 season."
"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"
The NCAA reached a negotiated settlement with Marcus Williams after information emerged during an investigation of former Fresno State player Mykell Robinson. Phone records indicated Williams gave Robinson information nine times to bet on Williams exceeding various statistical totals during the 2024-25 season. Williams has no remaining college eligibility and was found to have provided false or misleading information during an interview with enforcement staff in March. Williams’ agent denied that Williams ever bet on college games or his own performance, expressed regret over the interactions, and offered an apology to the University of San Francisco. Robinson previously lost eligibility for betting.
