A Statement from Temple Men's Basketball

1.16.26 | Men's Basketball

In light of new information contained in a federal indictment issued yesterday that references C.J. Hines' alleged involvement in point-shaving while enrolled at his previous institution, Temple University has dismissed Hines from its men's basketball program.

Temple had previously been notified by the NCAA of potential eligibility concerns involving Hines, and as a result, he had not participated in any athletic competition since enrolling at Temple while the review process was ongoing.
