Kentucky hired Sutton from Arkansas for the 1985-86 season, and he led the Wildcats to a 32-4 record and an Elite Eight appearance. But after only four seasons, Sutton announced his resignation in the midst of an NCAA investigation into the basketball program.
In October 1988, the NCAA announced 18 charges against the basketball program following a Los Angeles Daily News report that Emery Worldwide air freight workers found $1,000 in a package allegedly sent from Wildcats assistant Dwane Casey to the father of Kentucky recruit Chris Mills.
The NCAA gave Kentucky a two-year postseason ban and prevented it from playing on live television during the 1989-90 season. Casey was put on NCAA probation for five years, and Mills was ruled ineligible.
