Kentucky soccer team sanctioned by NCAA for playing a pick-up game with Foo Fighters

As reported by Jon Hale of the Courier-Journal on Thursday, both the men’s and women’s soccer teams at the University of Kentucky have been sanctioned for recent violations.

During a pick-up game in early May, members of both teams were invited to join another game with, you guessed it, the Foo Fighters. The Foo Fighters were in town for a concert at Rupp Arena and wanted to play some soccer “as they were getting tired and wanted the energy level to be raised.”

One member of the women’s team as well as three players on the men’s team, in addition to a former male player, participated in the game and have been sanctioned accordingly.
