Two tickets provided to Brittany Wagner – known for her appearances in the Netflix documentary series on East Mississippi CC – for Kentucky’s season-opening game against Southern Miss in 2016 led to a secondary NCAA violation for UK.
The Louisville Courier-Journal reported that UK receivers coach Lamar Thomas left tickets for Wagner at will-call, which was done at the behest of an unnamed SEC Network commentator. Because Wagner was working for East Mississippi CC at the time, leaving free tickets was a violation. The Courier-Journal reported that it wouldn’t have been a violation if she had received tickets from UK through the pass list for recruits.
