Today, the NCAA announced penalties for violations impermissible benefits that took place at Kentucky.
The violations, which involved both the football and swimming programs, included 11 football players who ultimately received payment for work that they did not perform.
The NCAA found that the players were paid between spring of 2021 and March of 2022, marking a standard Level-II violation.
Kentucky has agreed to vacated records of the game where the ineligible players played in, as well as two years probation along with an undisclosed fine.
The NCAA enforcement staff and school agreed that no staff member in athletics knew, or reasonably should have known, about the payment for work not done.
Therefore, the violations for the football program did not extend to a failure to monitor violation for Mark Stoops and his program.
Stoops and the Wildcats opened their fall camp on Wednesday, as we are officially 29 days until their season opener August 31 against Southern Miss.
