On a cold Tuesday morning outside the Student Center, a familiar face returned to Kent State University campus. It wasn’t a famous alumnus or former athlete, but instead, it was a man who was daring students to think outside of the accepted norms their professors are teaching them.

Peter “the moon guy” Jarvio is an avid moon-landing and flat-earth conspiracy theorist who has been a fixture on campus for the last few years.

As Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker pulled up for a buzzer-beating three-pointer on Oct. 27 2025, to cover the point spread against the Utah Jazz, one anonymous 20-year-old Kent State marketing major was frozen and shaking in fear.

The sophomore had just lost $1,800 in a grueling 24-hour stretch, totaling over $4,000 dollars lost in just under two years of sports gambling. Chasing his losses, the student made the decision to put $900 on a three-leg parlay concluding with the Jazz winning by 1.5 points.

“After I had lost all this money in one single day, I was sitting on the floor distraught at three in the morning and told myself ‘I’m done gambling forever,”’ the anonymous student said. “And then the next morning, I woke up and decided to go back in for more.”
