That headline sounds like there’s a punch line coming soon, but it’s not a joke.
The NCAA has determined that Kentucky soccer players need to be punished for a light-hearted pick-up soccer game that included members of the Foo Fighters in May.
According to a report from the Courier-Journal:
Several UK soccer players will have to sit out two supervised team activities, such as a practice or meetings, after joining in a pickup soccer game with the Foo Fighters and UK coaches before a May 1 concert at Rupp Arena, the NCAA ruled.
The pickup game took place the week before final exams, when the NCAA prohibits coaches from being involved with players in an event like a pickup game.
