Kentucky and the NCAA reached a settlement Friday over infractions that included 11 football players getting paid for work they did not perform in 2021 and ’22.
The negotiated resolution said the school agreed with the NCAA Committee on infractions that some football players received impermissible benefits and that rules violations took place in the school’s swimming program.
Kentucky agreed to spend two years on probation, pay an undisclosed fine and vacate records of any games in which ineligible football players competed.
Of the 11 players paid for not working, eight played and received “actual and necessary expenses while ineligible.”
