UMass said it would pay a student the $10,000 prize for a halftime promotion at a women’s basketball game after a dispute with an insurance company over whether he stepped over the line when he made a half-court shot.

A video review showed the student's foot was on the half-court line, but the school said it will step in to give him the prize money.

But on Friday, UMass stepped in to rectify the situation, announcing that the school would award the $10,000 to Lee directly. “We weren’t satisfied with that outcome and arrived at the decision to provide Noah with both a $10,000 award and a host of additional UMass athletics benefits,” the school said in a statement.
