Under the plea agreement reached Wednesday, Lowe will pay $79,000 in restitution, a $2,000 fine and court costs. He will also serve 100 hours of community service and be on unsupervised probation for three years.
Lowe, who coached the Wolfpack from 2006-2011, is currently an assistant coach with the NBA's Utah Jazz. At the time of his departure from State, he was making $500,000 per year.
Lowe, a member of the 1983 national championship team at NC State, held an 86-78 overall career coaching record at his alma mater, including a 25-55 mark in the ACC.
Lowe never topped the 20-win mark and never earned more than six wins in the ACC or finished above ninth place in the league.
