Kansas and North Carolina State were named in new federal charges filed in the FBI's investigation into corruption in college basketball Tuesday.
Both schools were accused of being connected to former Adidas global sports marketing director for basketball, James "Jim" Gatto.
The allegations related to NC State concern a player who was a top recruit in North Carolina, and played at NC State during the 2016-17 season before leaving for the NBA. Starting around 2015, Gatto allegedly conspired to pay $40,000 to the father of the player—listed as "Parent-1" in the documents—in order to assure the player attended NC State and signed a sponsorship with Adidas when he decided to go to the NBA.
