Kentucky's athletic department agreed to a two-year probation period Friday following sanctions in the school's football and swimming programs. Kentucky football will also vacate wins from its 2021 campaign, when the Wildcats went 10-3 and won the Citrus Bowl against Iowa. The football program's violations were related to players receiving "impermissible benefits" in the form of no-show jobs for UK HealthCare. At least 11 players received payment for work not performed between spring of 2021 and March 2022; eight of those players went on to compete while ineligible. Kentucky president Eli Capilouto said in a release that all violations were self-reported when the athletic department became aware of them.
