The University of Massachusetts has pledged to pay a student the $10,000 prize for making a half-court shot during halftime of a women’s basketball game, despite the shot being disputed by an insurance company as not being taken behind the mid-court line.

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.

The UMass Athletic Department is working on rewarding the student $10,000 after he sunk a half-court shot Wednesday night.

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.

Lee made a layup, a free throw, a 3-pointer and a half-court shot in under 30 seconds and was supposed to receive a $10,000 prize.

A UMass student who was initially denied​ a $10,000 prize after making a half-court shot will be getting the money after all.
