UK Reports A Minor NCAA Violation

Kentucky reported a secondary rules violation to the NCAA that included a former UK program assistant, Bilal Batley. In early July, Batley visited the UK practice gym to speak with a player about an academic situation. When he was there, he was seen gathering rebounds for one of the players. Kentucky decided it should be turned into the NCAA as a secondary violation. This is one of the smallest violations in the NCAA rule book so it's doubtful there will be a huge consequence, if any for UK. Batley joined John Calipari's staff at Memphis last year. He resigned last week at Kentucky to return home to Houston, Texas because of a family illness.
