UMass said it would pay a student the $10,000 prize for a halftime promotion at a women’s basketball game after a dispute with an insurance company over whether he stepped over the line when he made a half-court shot.

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.

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

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

Noah Lee was told by the insurance company that he would not receive $10,000 after making four shots at a UMass game on Wednesday.
