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.

Picture this: you just made a half-court shot to win $10,000 in front of thousands of cheering fans. But now, you’re walking out of the arena with no money. T
