When UNC escaped NCAA punishment despite decades of academic fraud, NC State fans, like a lot of other people, were disgusted. However, as we’ve seen since UNC’s case ended, a lot of schools have followed their model and simply contested everything.

In its response to NCAA allegations (which are also a matter of court records now due to the FBI/Adidas trial which saw sworn testimony about former State guard Dennis Smith, Jr. and his family being paid $40,000 by Adidas rep TJ Gassnola) NC State is essentially telling the NCAA to prove that any payments were made.
