The University of Kentucky, responding to National Collegiate Athletic Assn. allegations against its basketball program, will accept responsibility for a package of money that allegedly was sent to the father of recruit Chris Mills of Los Angeles’ Fairfax High, the Lexington Herald-Leader reported.
The newspaper also said that Kentucky will take responsibility for charges of academic fraud involving another basketball player, Eric Manuel. The Herald-Leader said its information came from two sources who requested anonymity.
A package containing $1,000 reportedly was sent to Claud Mills last March. It came unsealed in transit, and several Emery Air Freight employees said they found money inside, prompting the NCAA allegation.
