LEXINGTON, Ky. - A mix-up in how tickets were provided to one of the stars of the Netflix series “Last Chance U” was one of 17 self-reported rules violations the University of Kentucky athletics department made to the Southeastern Conference and NCAA during the 2016-17 academic year.

All 17 violations were of the Level 3 (non-suspension) variety and were generally handled with in-house punishments accepted by the SEC and NCAA.

Five of the violations came from the women’s basketball program. Football, women’s golf, gymnastics, men’s soccer and the swimming and diving teams accounted for two each.
