Great first weekend of summer ball with my @CBC_KY XPress American team. 3rd out of 17 with a huge win against a really talented MC Saints team. Back at it this weekend!

While the rest of us were busy refreshing our feeds for the Stokes announcement, the ever-slithering @ukyMonday was hard at work behind closed doors. In a move that surprised absolutely no one familiar with his "fiscal recklessness," he quietly pushed through the Cooper Drive entertainment model during a Champions Board meeting that was not disclosed to the public.
But why should we expect transparency? @ukyPres made the hierarchy clear during Friday’s Board meeting: he asked if anyone had questions, then immediately reminded the room that the "mere peasants" aren't actually allowed to speak. It’s an inner-circle party, and you’re not invited.
Kentucky is currently attempting to cosplay as Atlanta, using The Battery as inspiration for a delusional model the city of Lexington simply cannot afford. The "progress" looks like this:
BCTCS is being banished to Newtown Pike like an unwanted stepchild.
Tailgating—the soul of the game—is being gutted to make room for concrete.
Pricing will inevitably skyrocket to service the mountain of debt, ensuring the football experience is a luxury boutique item for the elite few.
As @pops51 eloquently pointed out, this isn't just growth; it’s a monopoly. By hiding behind state bonds and taxpayer-funded safety nets, the university has created a predatory environment where private businesses can’t compete. They are cannibalizing the local economy to build a "workforce" that serves only the university, effectively killing off industry diversity in Kentucky.
The ultimate betrayal? The inevitable 30-year blood oath with corporations like Aramark. They’ll bleed our local workers dry with bottom-tier wages and nonexistent benefits, all while shipping the profits straight out of state to corporate headquarters.
The Commonwealth of Kentucky is currently being treated like a personal piggy bank by @ukyMonday and his enabler-in-chief, @ukypres. This isn't leadership; it’s a lack of institutional control masked as "vision." If these grifters aren't shown the door soon, there won't be anything left of our state to save.
Frankly, I don’t blame Mitch Barnhart for skipping that Board meeting. I’d avoid being seen with this wrecking crew, too.
“I cannot imagine them Firing him if he doesn’t make the NCAA Tournament next year” - Matt.
“Matt, it would be insane if they don’t fire him, if they miss the NCAA Tournament, like really? You’re Kentucky” - Sam.
“This season was not enjoyable for UK fans, they didn’t play an enjoyable style, it didn’t seem the fans enjoyed watching the team quite frankly” - Sam.
“Honestly when I listen to Mark Pope in press conferences.. I’ve got questions that’s all I’m going to say” - Sam.
“Classic example of # gets out, Pope has yet to deny the $22 million btw, he has never said that’s not true. He could’ve easily said it. That tells you all you need to know” - Matt.
“It could be much worse if you’re Kentucky” - Matt.
Some really interesting quotes on Kentucky today from this podcast with Matt Norlander, Adam Finklestein, and Sam Vecenie.

🚨 Here is the full 40 minutes of my crew and I exposing California fraud, Minnesota was big but California is even bigger... We uncovered over $170,000,000 in fraud as these fraudsters live in luxury with no consequences. Like it and share it, the fraud must STOP.
We ALL work way too hard and pay too much in taxes for this to be happening. These fraudsters have been able to defraud American taxpayers for years without any pushback from the public and politicians.
It is time to EXPOSE IT ALL and end America's fraud crisis.
