Umass is officially asking for the 1996 run to be reinstated.

Edit- adding background. Marcus Camby admitted months after the season he accepted $28k and gifts from two sports agents who hoped he would sign with them. Since the money and gifts were given before the season ended, this made Camby inelligible. Umass vacated their final four run for 1996 and had to pay back $151k. The NCAA conceded the school and Calipari did not know about the gifts until after the season, thus not holding them responsible. Umass avoided heftier fines, etc, due to lack of knowledge.
