The NCAA says it has reached an agreement with the University of Kentucky regarding violations in the football and swimming programs.
The agreed-upon violations involve at least 11 football student-athletes receiving payment for work not performed between spring 2021 and March 2022.
Eight of the student-athletes went on to compete and receive actual and necessary expenses while ineligible.
The NCAA enforcement staff and school agreed that no staff member in the athletics department knew or reasonably should have known about the payment for work not performed.
In a statement from UK President Eli Capilouto, he says the NCAA sanctions imposed include two years of probation for the athletics department and vacating wins during the 2021 football season, including that season’s bowl game.
