This week former Auburn basketball player and assistant coach escaped serious jail time. The bribery charge he pled guilty to was punished with 200 hours of community service. The sentence was noticeably light, indicating he may have cooperated with the FBI and divulged other names.
The FBI investigation is largely complete while the NCAA basketball investigation is in its early stages. The first move by the NCAA was a notice of allegations (NOA) against North Carolina State (NCSU) and its former head coach, Mark Gottfried. The NCAA has been unusually open in the communication of future announcements of other NOA actions against schools.
