NORTH CAROLINA STATE: A grand jury subpoena received by the university seeks communication records between school officials and its former coaching staff, and ex-Wolfpack guard Dennis Smith Jr. and his representatives.

N.C. State released the subpoena a week after confirming it was received on Jan. 17 from the Southern District of New York.

It’s the same court handling charges that were filed in September in the ongoing federal investigation of corruption in college basketball.

The subpoena seeks communications between the coaching staff and athletic department – including former coach Mark Gottfried and ex-assistant Orlando Early – and Smith and his family members, as well as financial aid forms, eligibility forms and his letter of intent.
