Connecticut guard Ryan Boatright has been cleared by the NCAA to return to action, despite a finding by the governing body that the freshman and his mother received more than $8,000 in impermissible benefits both before and after he enrolled in school. The NCAA said in a release posted on its website that it has determined Boatright has lived up to an agreement that gave him limited immunity for co-operating in the investigation, and is "likely the least culpable" of those involved in the violations. The freshman served a six-game suspension at the start of the season and is being required to repay $4,500 in improper benefits discovered during the NCAA's initial probe.
