Oklahoma Investigates QB John Mateer's Venmos Transactions That Reference Sports Gambling

Oklahoma officials are reportedly vetting quarterback John Mateer and his Venmo history that references sports gambling after screenshots surfaced this week on social media. Per CBS:

quote:
The pictures show Mateer paying someone in 2022, with the description of the transaction being "sports gambling," and "sports gambling (UCLA vs USC)." The 2022 season marked Mateer's first year with Washington State, meaning he was not allowed to gamble on college football. Mateer's Venmo activity has since been removed or made private.

ESPN's Pete Thamel reports that Oklahoma officials are aware of Mateer's alleged Venmo activity, but the quarterback has "consistently denied" ever being involved with gambling. Oklahoma is now looking into the situation.

I reference sexual favors in the comments when paying my buddies. Glad I’m not an athlete.

Weird though. Why would Mateer put something so mild in the description for money he paid someone else? What would be embarrassing about some college age guy getting reimbursed for gambling? Is this some self burn? Would be funny if his friend put it in the description knowing Mateer might get in trouble but vice versa?

Meh. Opposing programs - curb your excitement. You won't avoid us, this won't help your weak program. This is a nothingburger. Mateer will be taking snaps and setting records all season. OUr D and OUr new Arbuckle-Mateer O will curb-stomp all of you.
