The NCAA announced Friday that it has reached an agreement with Kentucky on appropriate penalties stemming from Level II violations that occurred within the football program. At issue is the fact that at least 11 football players received impermissible benefits for work not performed between spring 2021 and March 2022.

Eight of those players went on to compete while ineligible. The NCAA's investigation did not support findings of failure to monitor within the football program.

"The 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, and thus the violations involving the football program did not provide additional support for the agreed-upon failure-to-monitor violation." The NCAA's statement reads.
