Two NC State players dismissed, three suspended after investigation into party

The NC State police's investigation into an on-campus party in July has resulted in the dismissal of two football players and suspensions for three others.

The investigation was launched after three separate sexual assault allegations were reported at one location, all between 9:30 p.m. and 11 p.m. on July 21. The school launched its investigation the next day and has turned its findings over to the Wake County District Attorney's office, though at this time no charges have been filed.

The five players disciplined -- all freshmen on campus for summer classes -- were found in violation of the university's code of conduct for an on-campus gathering involving alcohol and marijuana.
