NC State's men's basketball program avoided a postseason ban on Monday following an investigation into a former assistant coach helping facilitate money from Adidas to a prospect's family.
Instead, the Wolfpack were given a one-year of probation and former coach Mark Gottfried was given a one-year show-cause order. Former assistant coach Orlando Early was given a six-year show-cause order.
Monday's ruling was issued by the Independent Accountability Resolution Process (IARP), a unit the NCAA created to handle complex cases.
"The NC State men’s basketball program provided numerous impermissible entertainment and recruiting benefits that resulted in various violations related to recruiting inducements, extra benefits, head coach’s responsibility, unethical conduct and the monitoring of the men’s basketball office pass list," the IARP wrote in its release.
