A UMass student who made a half-court shot during a women’s basketball game halftime promotion will get his $10,000 prize from the school itself.

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.
