For all the kids out there:
Ryan Fox played golf for the first time at 13 , didn’t play in a competitive tournament until he was 18 , didn’t win his first big amateur event until he was 24 and didn’t turn pro until the age of 25.
He is now a major champion
The Mitch Barnhart settlement is complete
He ends up taking $1.6 million less than he agreed to back in March and $700,000 less than he did in 2023
While the agreement in March was ridiculous by UK, actually good of Mitch to take less money, which he didn’t have to do
I’m teaming up with @EASportsCollege to give away some College Football 27 codes!
Just repost and reply with #CFB27 for a chance to win. I’ll also be giving away 16 more codes in a couple days outta my own pocket so stay followed 🫡
This is nonsense.
Mitch did not have a championship standard, we won 1 championship in the 3 major sports in a quarter of a Century.
Mitch was a C+ level AD and UK is better off in the future going a different direction.
A politicians swamp will always lash out at the truth
J Batt’s resume:
-Hired Nate Oats at Alabama
-Hired Brent Key at Georgia Tech and created awesome NIL resources there
-Secured a $401 million athletic donation to Michigan State less than a year into his tenure
Kentucky could be getting a really, really good athletic director

This line of thought is ludicrous and hasn’t been true since the 60s. Outside of in-state kids, People came to UK bc it was the best opportunity for them…period. And fans still embrace them totally
Older people yearning for the “good old days” that never existed
For media or older fans, the question is a simple one. Do you want to be a fan of modern college sports or not? If not, fine. There are other joys in life
But whining for a return to the era of unpaid labor and supposed “purity” of the sport is the most tired old guy argument
Michelle Obama has spoken fairly regularly about how the Obama’s would miss out on opportunities so they would not inconvenience the public because they were in the White House to serve others.
