UMass Student Has $10K Reward Rescinded After Winning Halftime Contest

A student at a UMass Minutewomen’s basketball game won $10,000 on Wednesday night after completing an on-court contest—until he didn’t.

As shared by UMass play-by-play announcer Josh Schreiber on X (formerly Twitter), a friend of his named Noah made a layup, a free throw, a three-pointer, and a halfcourt shot in under 30 seconds to receive the grand prize. Here’s a look at the video:

Not a great look for UMass Amherst to be taking away this kind of money from a college student—even if it is a promotions company that ran the contest.
