The scope of the federal prosecution of college basketball corruption continues to expand. On Friday, the University of Maryland acknowledged receipt of two sets of grand jury subpoenas sent from U.S. Attorney Geoffrey Berman of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. Last September, in that same court, several prominent figures in college basketball were charged with federal crimes related to bribing college basketball recruits. Maryland claims that it fully complied with the subpoenas, which are requests for documents “under penalty;” a failure to comply with a subpoena can lead to criminal or civil punishments.
