Jackson was charged in February with misdemeanor criminal damage to property after he followed a female student to her car, then proceeded to kick the driver's-side door and rear tail light.

The police report listed the damage caused to the car at $3,150.45 USD, which is a felony. Jackson, however, was given a lesser charge.

Jackson must now enroll in and successfully complete an anger management counseling course by October 31. He will also have to complete a minimum of 20 hours of community service by the same date.

Despite all of the drama off the court, Jackson could be the top pick in this summer's NBA Draft. He is regarded as the best two-way player in this year's class after leading the Jayhawks to the Elite Eight as a freshman.

Jackson has called his off-the-court issues "old business," but NBA teams will likely still vet him intensely during the draft process to make sure he isn't a high-risk player.
