Thee members of the University of Texas El Paso (UTEP) basketball team have been dismissed for gambling on at least one team game.

According to the Associated Press, the school contacted the FBI in December with suspicions that two players were betting on games. The two players were later suspended and third one followed.

The FBI said the players did not bet on games they played in and they did not influence games to turn out in bettors' favor, also known as point shaving. No other players are suspected to be involved in gambling.

"We think we have cleaned up what we found and heard," UTEP executive vice president Richard Adauto told the AP.

McKenzie Moore, Justin Crosgile and Jalen Ragland were dismissed from the UTEP Miners team and from their classes at the school Tuesday.

"To date, there was no indication that point shaving was involved. However, per NCAA rules, any type of sports gambling is prohibited and results in a one-year suspension and loss of a year of eligibility," the school said in a statement. "All three players are upperclassmen, and therefore their college basketball careers are over. They are no longer enrolled at UTEP and are no longer a part of our basketball program."

According to ESPN, Moore and Ragland missed the team's last two games on an indefinite suspension, while Crosgile continued to play. The latter was suspended and dismissed when the FBI revealed his involvement in the gambling.

"We evaluate every film and we did not suspect that they were betting on any UTEP events," Miners coach Tim Floyd said.

Michael Martinez, an FBI spokesman in El Paso, commended the school for taking the initiative in reporting their suspicions. As the coach of USC's basketball team, Floyd was accused of paying O.J. Mayo to recruit him and the school punished him although the NCAA found no evidence of fault. When he resigned he said it was not an admission of guilt.

"It's an ongoing investigation based on a referral from the El Paso Police Department, and the three gentlemen (Floyd, Adauto and Stull) who were at the press conference today," Martinez said in a news release. "We commend them on their prompt action and continuing cooperation."
