The National Collegiate Athletic Assn.’s preliminary report on possible rules violations in the North Carolina State basketball program includes serious allegations but does not support claims of drug abuse or grade changing, Bruce Poulton, the school’s outgoing chancellor, said.

The report, released to reporters with the names of the players blacked out, focuses on claims that players sold complimentary basketball tickets and athletic shoes, received discounts not available to other students and accepted free food and lodging from athletic boosters.
