Once again, the NCAA has decided to come down hard on the nation’s elite.
After telling the world they were ready to release their Notice of Allegations to schools involved in the recent FBI college basketball scandal and finally put an end to all the shady business, North Carolina State was the first in line to get their scolding. On July 10, the NCAA handed down two Level I violations against N.C. State and four overall, with all of them being connected to the recruitment of former five-star guard Dennis Smith Jr.
For those keeping track at home, NC State won just four ACC basketball games with Smith on the roster and finished the 2016-17 season 15-17 overall.
