Jaquan Mack, a former assistant equipment manager for Army West Point, has received a two-year show-cause penalty and a suspension from the NCAA. Investigations revealed that Mack placed approximately 648 bets totaling over $541,000 on both professional and collegiate sports between 2023 and 2025. While $86,206 of these bets were placed on NCAA games, the NCAA confirmed he did not bet on any teams from the schools where he was employed.
