LEXINGTON, Ky. -- The University of Kentucky has told the NCAA it disciplined a former men's basketball administrative assistant for a secondary rules violation.
In response to an open records request by The Associated Press, UK released information about the self-reporting of several minor violations from its sports programs. Among them was an admission that Bilal Batley broke NCAA rules when he shagged rebounds with an unnamed student-athlete at a gym.
Batley was issued a letter of admonishment, according to the report. UK athletics spokesman DeWayne Peevy said he has resigned from the program but couldn't confirm the reason.
One other men's basketball violation involved a high school basketball camp that advertised a UK player might appear. The university listed that violation as inadvertent.
