Northern Iowa Agrees to Give Contest Shot-Maker $10K

Paul Steinbach Headshot

The University of Northern Iowa and a sponsor seed company have agreed to award $10,000 to a student after denying that he had officially won a halftime shooting contest earlier in the week.

As reported by the Minneapolis Star Tribune, Dalton Hinsch, a UNI sophomore from Mankato, Minn., scrambled on Feb. 12 to make a layup, a free throw, a three-point shot and a half-court shot with no rebounding assistance — and the crowd went wild. However, controversy ensued when contest organizers declared Hinsch hadn't run the shot-making gauntlet within the required 24 seconds, even though a shot clock wasn't provided to allow Hinsch to pace himself. Upon completion, Hinsch was informed his feat of accuracy had taken closer to 27 seconds.
