Oklahoma Sooners starting quarterback John Mateer denied allegations of sports gambling after screenshots of his Venmo account surfaced online. Mateer claims the references to "sports gambling" were inside jokes with friends. School officials are investigating, but OU Athletics stated they are unaware of any NCAA investigation. Mateer, a highly-ranked transfer, maintains his innocence and asserts he never bet on sports.
