Former NC State staff implicated in latest from FBI probe into college basketball

The U.S. Attorney’s Office on Tuesday announced a new indictment that expands the breadth of the FBI’s current probe into college basketball. Both Louisville and Miami had already been implicated in a pay-for-play scheme involving Adidas officials, and you can add to that list both Miami and ... NC State. All four schools have Adidas apparel deals.

This latest indictment alleges that at least one member of NC State’s former coaching staff helped to arrange the transfer of $40,000 to the father of Dennis Smith Jr. after Smith began to feel unhappy about his commitment to the Wolfpack.
