Paul Steinbach Headshot

North Carolina State University this week submitted a "victim impact statement" to a federal court in New York, claiming the government's well-publicized fraud trial involving N.C. State shoe and apparel partner Adidas has damaged the university.

In the letter submitted to the court on Wednesday, N.C. State is seeking a total amount of $258,585 from James Gatto, the former Adidas executive who last October was found guilty of felony charges of wire fraud and conspiracy to commit wire fraud. As reported by the Charlotte Observer, the school claims it has spent $234,685 on legal fees and that it should also be reimbursed for $23,900, the cost of tuition it provided for Dennis Smith Jr., who played one season with the Wolfpack and is currently a member of the NBA's New York Knicks.
