NC State gets slap on the wrist from feckless NCAA

Not bad for nc st. I dont know what the coaches did, but a six year show cause is no joke

They accepted money from the Addias Rep and funneled the money to a player. It was like 40K. I want to say the Assistant admitted to it and there was a solid paper trail.

There won’t be a postseason ban or scholarship reductions for the program.

Ok I read this 4 times now, did they just contradict themselves or am I continuing to read this wrong?

What did they do? I bet alot more than a coach talking shite on the phone

N.C. State’s case revolves around former guard Dennis Smith Jr., former head coach Mark Gottfried and former assistant Orlando Early. The investigation involves former Adidas consultant Thomas Gassnola working with Early, an assistant under Gottfried from 2011 to ‘17, and Smith’s trainer Shawn Farmer to funnel $40,000 to Smith’s family in exchange for Smith’s commitment in October 2015.

Created in August 2019, the IARP set up a panel of independent investigators to review complex NCAA Division I infractions cases. It came about after a recommendation from the Commission on College Basketball, chaired by former U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.

The NCAA hasn’t accused Wade of shite. The report was that the NCAA has received information indicating that Wade offered up to 11 recruits impermissible benefits and was investigating.

Aka either one or multiple rival coaches tattled to the NCAA. If they had further proof beyond that they would’ve moved forward already and wouldn’t still be investigating

---

They are accusing wade of giving impermissible benefits of up to 11 players

Guaranteed they have no paper trail or it would have been announced already.

Where are you seeing this?

The ncaa gave turned everything over to the new investigative body, the IACP.

The schools requested the IARP, not the other way around. They basically state that the schools can’t appeal the decision from IARP, when they were able to with the NCAA. Schools felt the NCAA could unilaterally make any decision they wanted. That’s what has been the issue with uneven penalties throughout the years with bigger programs getting lighter punishments.

This is a positive decision for other schools in the IARP process as that doesn’t seem like too harsh of a penalty, especially looking at how Oklahoma State was handed a postseason ban for less money.
