ACC fines NCS and bars recruits over illegal methods
The Atlantic Coast Conference fined North College $5000 and barred it from recruiting any future basketball players for one year after accusing State of using illegal methods to recruit Jackie Moreland from Minden Louisiana. ACC Commissioner James Weaver tied the fine to Moreland’s remaining at State under current scholarship and no athletic eligibility. The NCAA had placed State on four years of probation, the harshest sanction issued by the association.
