RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — The North Carolina Secretary of State’s office wants a court to force the NCAA to turn over documents from its investigation of UNC’s football program to see if sports agent laws were broken.

Elaine Marshall’s office is seeking an unredacted copy of the NCAA’s notice of allegations outlining nine violations, as well as records of interviews. The office launched a probe into whether the state’s sports agent laws were broken shortly after the NCAA began its investigation of improper benefits and academic misconduct at UNC last year.

The secretary of state’s office filed its petition Thursday in Wake County. A hearing is scheduled for Nov. 28.

In a statement, Marshall says she won’t comment publicly on the matter until the hearing.
