divulged information to ex-Fresno State basketballer Mykell Robinson
According to the NCAA Committee on InfractionsWilliams knowingly divulged information to ex-Fresno State basketballer Mykell Robinson who was placing bets on daily fantasy sports (DFS) platforms. He placed the bets on Williams’ performances for the rival NCAA college.
A news release from the Committee revealed Williams’ transgressions were discovered when enforcement officials examined text messages for a separate infractions case involving Robinson.
In its decision published online, the NCAA listed nine occasions Williams knowingly provided information to Robinson between November 2024 and January 2025, which the latter used to bet on Williams via DFS accounts.
In all nine cases, Williams directed his Fresno peer to take the over-line on his performance, one including Williams’ rebound-assist totals.
Adding to the violations that triggered permanent ineligibility for Williams, the NCAA stated the ex-student athlete did not cooperate with the investigation. Williams knowingly gave untrue or misleading information to investigators, including denying having a DFS account “which was under his name and email address.”
The Infractions arm concluded that Williams’ case was resolved via negotiated resolution in coordination with his former San Francisco college, “per infractions process operating procedures.”
Williams agreed to his violations while participating in the negotiated resolution.
