Cal State Northridge, which recently named former N.C. State coach Mark Gottfried as its new basketball coach, said it did its due diligence and there were no “red flags” associated with the hiring.
A federal grand jury in New York in January issued a subpoena to N.C. State in conjunction with the FBI’s investigation into corruption and fraud in college basketball. Among the allegations are that former N.C. State guard Dennis Smith Jr. received $73,500 in loans from Christian Dawkins, an associate of former agent Andy Miller, while Gottfried was the coach.
