Fresno is the latest university sports program to get caught up in a betting scandal.
The Bulldogs' men's basketball team is being investigated by both the NCAA and the university because of its potential connection to the gambling scheme. According to ESPN reports.
The school has suspended two players (Jalen Weaver and Zaon Collins) at least for a match against the Air Force on Saturday.
In a statement to ESPN, the university said the pair was “withheld from competition as the university reviews eligibility issues.”
The investigation began after Fresno reportedly turned over gambling-related fraud.
Mykell Robinson, who is no longer on the team, is also under investigation.
Robinson averaged 10.3 points and 6.2 rebounds per game for the Bulldogs, but hasn't played since January 11th.
Weaver and Collins rank second and third in points per game, respectively.
Collins leads the team both in assists and steel.
The trio leads the team in minutes per game.
This probe comes in a disastrous season for the Bulldog.
Fresno State sits 5-23 after 10 consecutive losses on Saturday.
The school's 22 losses are the most in one season in the history of the program.
The Bulldog investigation shows yet another betting scandal to smash the world of sports.
In August, Notre Dame suspended the male swimming program for at least a year after the investigation revealed several gambling violations.
Former Temple basketball player Hija Miller was under the microscope of federal authorities who allegedly pointed out and revised the results of the owl game.
Jontay Porter and Tucupita Marcano were suspended for life last year from playing the NBA and MLB respectively due to gambling.
