An HBCU has spoken out regarding an NCAA investigation into gambling activities by former players.
Mississippi Valley State released a statement Friday afternoon regarding the ongoing investigation which includes two former Delta Devils men’s basketball players.
“Mississippi Valley State University acknowledges the recent NCAA Committee on Infractions report, which concluded an enforcement investigation into sports betting violations involving two former men’s basketball student-athletes who are no longer enrolled at the university,” the statement began.
“The university has cooperated fully with the NCAA’s investigation and is committed to upholding the highest standards of integrity in its athletics programs.”
A report surfaced in September naming several schools, including Mississippi Valley State and North Carolina A&T, had former or current players under investigation for illegal betting.
MVSU adds that they take the matter seriously and will continue to work with the NCAA to ensure all athletes comply by the governing body’s rules.
