UMass students thought they won $10,000 in a halftime contest at a women's basketball game, but found out they wouldn't make more money than professionalism.
Umass by-by-by-play announcer Josh Schleiber 91.1 FM WMUA Sports posted x. Senior Noalywon the halftime competition at the Mullins Center on Wednesday night. This included layups, free throws, three pointers and hitting half-court shots within 30 seconds.
The university student completed a task that included an impressive half-court heave and celebrated on the court, but the next day he learned that his legs had to stay behind the line of his shot.
He didn't win the $10,000 prize money because that wasn't the case.
Schreiber revealed a devastating twist of a x's follow-up post It explained that “insurance” informed Lee that he had not got any money.
Lee told the Daily Collegian He was a little disappointed with the outcome.
“[On Thursday]I got an email from a representative of UMass Athletics saying that the promotional company had come back to them and said my feet were on the line and that they wouldn't pay for it.
“If it worked well before the half court line, you'll realize that it was an extra step, but at the worst, he's very clearly in the half court.” Schreiber told WHDH in Boston. “It's difficult to tell.”
UMass offered something to Noah for an unfortunate event in the contest.
The school provided student suite tickets for boys' basketball games, which it chose for the four-seat Roge suite. As he chose, a $100 gift card and a “Stock Bag of Umass Gear” from the Mullins Center concession stand.
“I'm really grateful for the opportunity to participate,” Lee told WHDH. “It was a really cool moment. It was a really cool experience.”
A spokesman for the UMass women's basketball team did not immediately respond to requests for comment from a post about what happened.
Oddson Promotions did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Schreiber tried to clarify X In Thursday Night Post That UMass women's basketball was not negligent.
“They were the best and had nothing to do with Noah not getting any money,” he wrote. “Support women's basketball and don't attack them for this!!!”
