Summary
The FBI's case regarding bribery and wire fraud in college basketball gained significant movement on Tuesday with a superseding indictment that was published against current defendants. In that indictment, Kansas and North Carolina State were named/looped into the story. For Kansas, no coaches are being targeted; the FBI is alleging that people outside the school steered two players to play for the Jayhawks. With NC State, at least one former coach is being held partially accountable for the illegal recruitment of former Wolfpack player Dennis Smith Jr. Gary Parrish and Matt Norlander lay out the latest information and go in detail on what comes next for Bill Self and Kansas, in addition to why NC State's issues aren't the same as KU's.

| 0:00.0 | Hey there, it's Gary Perish. It's Wednesday, April 11, 2018. Welcome back to the ION College |
| 0:09.8 | basketball market. Got Matt Dolan and Andrea Whitby and I supposed. We will start with the |
| 0:13.6 | biggest college basketball story of the week. And that's the Kansas and NC State have now |
| 0:17.9 | been roped into the ongoing FBI investigation into corruption in the sport. It was announced |
| 0:23.4 | Tuesday that federal prosecutors have filed additional counts against former Deed's executive |
| 0:28.3 | Jim Gatto, who is accused of making illegal payments to ensure at least two players went to |
| 0:33.6 | Kansas and one player went to NC State. The KU players are believed to be a Billy Preston and |
| 0:39.3 | Silvio DeSus, the latter of whom played throughout KU's run to the 2018 final four. The NC State |
| 0:46.0 | player is believed to be Maverick's rookie Dennis Smith. Preston's mother allegedly received |
| 0:51.8 | approximately at least $90,000 for Preston to enroll at Kansas. DeSus's guardian allegedly received |
| 0:58.6 | at least $20,000 to enroll him at Kansas. Obviously, this is not good for KU, but I'll let you weigh in |
| 1:05.2 | first, Norlander. How bad is this for Kansas for Bill Self for the J Hawks 2018 final four banner? |
| 1:11.2 | Yeah, this I think it is potentially if you are someone that cares about final four banners being |
| 1:19.6 | taken down and that being vacated from the record books, then this is bad because going off of |
| 1:26.8 | what the FBI and the federal government's indictment reads, it is easy to discern and the conclusion |
| 1:34.5 | to draw basically is that if Silvio DeSus was paid, this is basic stuff here. If he was paid to |
| 1:41.7 | attend Kansas and that can be proven at the NCAA level, let alone forget about the federal |
| 1:46.3 | level and all that stuff. DeSus and his guardian, they're not targets of this. They may be vulnerable |
| 1:53.2 | right now, but they are not caught in the crosshairs of potentially facing trial or anything like that. |
| 1:58.5 | We have to emphasize that at the stage. But if he or his family was paid, even if no one on Kansas |
| 2:05.5 | knew, if none of the assistants of Bill Self never knew, that's obviously in violation of NCAA |
| 2:10.3 | rules and that final four could eventually be taken down and GP, I got a thousand thoughts on |
