The investigation was triggered by significant betting line fluctuations observed during a March 2023 game between Temple and UAB, where the point spread shifted dramatically from UAB -2 to -8 before betting was halted.

In that game, Temple, a 1-point underdog, suffered a heavy loss to UAB, with Miller scoring only eight points and committing three turnovers.

Bookmakers reported that the same bettors who wagered against Temple in the UAB game also placed bets on other Temple games, often focusing on first-half results.

The NCAA is investigating the matter and has reached out to the gambling industry for insights into the suspicious betting patterns.

Temple University President John Fry confirmed that the university has been aware of the allegations since March 2024 and is cooperating fully with NCAA investigations.

Fry expressed disappointment over the situation but emphasized that it does not reflect the integrity of Temple's athletics program.

Neither the NCAA nor the FBI has publicly commented on the investigation, although both are aware of the situation.

Temple spokesperson Steve Orbanek acknowledged the university's awareness of the allegations and stated they will cooperate with any law enforcement inquiries.

Former Temple University basketball player Hysier Miller is under federal investigation for potential involvement in a point-shaving scheme linked to unusual betting activity.

This case is part of a broader trend of gambling-related issues in sports, echoing previous high-profile investigations, including a recent NBA scandal involving former player Jontay Porter.

Despite a challenging regular season record of 12-19, Miller was the leading scorer for the Owls, averaging 27.8 points during a successful run in the American Athletic Conference tournament.

After leaving Temple, Miller transferred to Virginia Tech but was dismissed from their program before the start of the 2024-25 season due to circumstances linked to the ongoing investigation.
