Eric Leak, a former N.C. State football player, agreed to a plea arrangement on Thursday in a Medicaid fraud case at the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina, according to court documents.
Leak is charged with paying kickbacks and money laundering while he served as executive director of Nature's Reflections, a Durham mental health services provider from 2011-14.
N.C. State asked in November 2011 that Leak dissociate himself from the university for 10 years after the NCAA said Leak had provided improper benefits to basketball players C.J. Leslie and Tracy Smith.
Leslie, who received $410 of impermissible benefits, was suspended for three games in the 2011-12 basketball season.
