University of Louisville student Jackson Logsdon hit a layup, a free throw, a three-pointer and a halfcourt shot to win $38,000 during a contest at Cardinals women’s basketball game last week.
Now, the school has said they will not pay Logsdon because he played basketball in high school. They claim the contest had a stipulation that said a contestant “could not have played high school basketball within the last six years.”
Logsdon admitted that he could really use the money:
“It is a huge bummer as I am an out-of-state student,” Logsdon told the Courier-Journal in an email Friday. “It would have went a long way to paying off student loans and anything in that manner. It was still an awesome experience and something I’ll never forget. Very bittersweet though.”
University representatives say they are working on an alternative gift, “so he doesn’t go away empty handed.”
