UConn ordered to return NCAA money
The NCAA Executive Committee has ruled that the University must
return $90,970 from its 1996 NCAA tournament revenue as a result of
rules violations by players Kirk King and Ricky Moore. The
committee also ruled that the three tournament games played in that
tournament be vacated because of the participation of ineligible
athletes.
King and
Moore had accepted airline tickets from an agent. The University
had no knowledge of the infractions at the time of the
tournament.
