While the transactions were all over social media on Monday night and Tuesday morning, Mateer has “made it clear to the school that he has never gambled,” Stoia reported.

Furthermore, Stoia reports that Mateer has “been in contact with the athletic department and compliance” and that Oklahoma is aware of the situation.

One of the transactions showed “sports gambling” with UCLA vs. USC also mentioned, and the date was November 20, 2022.

The SEC Unfiltered account also posted that Mateer had scrubbed his Venmo account on Monday night, although it remains to be seen if that was Mateer’s actual account or a fake one.

Still, Mateer has made it clear to school officials that he has never participated in such activity, and as of Tuesday morning, Oklahoma has yet to hear anything from the NCAA regarding this matter.

What Punishment Would Mateer Face?

If these screenshots and transactions are accurate, Mateer would face a steep punishment in his first year in Norman.

Per the NCAA rules, here is the punishment associated with such activity: “Student-athletes who bet on their own sport but not involving their school are subject to a potential loss of 50% of one season,” per David Purdum of ESPN.

As of now, the lone screenshot does not involve Mateer’s former program, Washington State, so the penalty would be half of the 2025 season if anything comes to light.

Nonetheless, Mateer has denied such activity, and this is a developing story that should prompt statements from both the school and the NCAA.
