Dae Dae Hunter Finally Shares His Side Of The Story Behind His Gambling Suspension

Cedquavious “Dae Dae” Hunter, a former basketball player from New Orleans, is candidly addressing his NCAA suspension linked to a betting controversy. The situation is quite serious: Hunter confessed to point-shaving, which involved deliberately underperforming during games to assist external gamblers. In an emotional interview on Good Morning America, he shared, "I just had a child. The school wasn’t compensating me, so I was looking for ways to provide." According to the investigation, Hunter, alongside teammates Dyquavian Short and Jamond Vincent, allegedly received $5,000 for their participation in this scheme. Remarkably, he initially attempted to mislead officials, hoping to evade responsibility. “I was trying to lie because I thought I could escape the consequences,” Hunter revealed. This misconduct resulted in his disqualification from NCAA activities and subsequent removal from UNO. His story serves as a cautionary tale: in the world of sports, desperate choices can lead to devastating repercussions.
