A total of $23,350 has been rewarded to people who provided information leading to the arrest and conviction of those involved in the April 1 disturbance that followed the NCAA women's basketball championship game.

The reward money was issued for the conviction of eight individuals who participated in the disturbance that caused more than $75,000 worth of damage to the Purdue campus and the city of West Lafayette.

Twelve individuals have received checks from the Purdue Research Foundation — three for $5,000, one for $2,250, five for $1,000, two for $500 and one for $100.
