The investigation ended Monday. June l9. The N&O reported that the players on the 1988-89 NCSU bas- ketball team refused to talk to state investigators. Also. it was reported that Wolfpack coach Jim Valvano refused to release busi- ness records the investigators had requested. The N&0 article explained that coach Valvano refused to allow the commission to examine records of his private company, J'I'V Enterprises. Samuels H. Poole. vice chairman of the UNC Board of Governors and chair of the commission that conducted the probe. said that his commis- sion was getting a lot of information from peo- ple who had dealt with players: summer employers, teachers. people who had sold them automobiles and people who had used 'tickets. Poole said that his commission was getting that side of the story. but that they were never able to deny, verify or substantiate, or get any of the particulars of the other side. The other side is, of course. the NCSU Athletics side. Now. ‘ First of all. we applaud coach Valvano for refusing to open his private business records to the probe. As UNC Trustees Chairman Edward I. Wiesiger put it. “I wouldn’t open mine, either." Second. we feel that by stonewalling the investigation. the players on the 1988-89 basketball squad have sent out the wrong message. While they do have the right not to be grilled at the whim ofthe UNC System. the way that they have gone about exercising their right has turned out to be ambiguous. not to men- tion open to question. The players need to clarify their silence. either through the media or through the commission. with an actual statement such as, “We feel we do not have to answer to this probe because. ...” Until we get some kind of clarification, their silence leaves the lingering question: Is there something going on at NCSU's basketball program?
