RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — An attorney representing NFL agent Gary Wichard says his client will meet with investigators from the North Carolina Secretary of State’s office as they review whether the state’s sports agent laws were broken.
Howard Silber says Wichard is scheduled to meet with investigators next week, though he wouldn’t specify exactly when. A spokesman for Secretary of State Elaine Marshall declined to comment Friday night.
Marshall’s office launched its probe shortly after the NCAA began investigating the football program at North Carolina. The NCAA review initially focused on agent-related benefits, but expanded to possible academic violations.
Wichard’s friendship with former Tar Heels assistant coach John Blake has been a key part of the investigations.
