@joe_ishmael @BleedBNetwork It’s not JMI partners… they’re Kentucky partners.

I’m convinced the vast majority of Kentucky fans had never heard of JMI (outside of when Matt jones talks abt them) until the last few months.

[Kendrick Thomas @kendrick_t7]

@BleedBNetwork His exact quote is “they can go do their own thing with their own representatives. They can’t use our marks, maybe in some of those, and that’s okay.”

[Kendrick Thomas @kendrick_t7]

@BleedBNetwork Those aren’t his exact words. Or even remotely close. You cannot refute the fact that there are contracts that restrict who UK can have their logo with. Has nothing to do with JMI. Every single division 1 school has these.

[Kendrick Thomas @kendrick_t7]

@BleedBNetwork Brother, I’m afraid you’re the one not educated on this subject. That’s okay, not many are. Dm me and I’ll answer whatever questions you have.

[Kendrick Thomas @kendrick_t7]

@BleedBNetwork It’s genuinely why I think Mitch doesn’t care explaining it. KSR mouthpiece say ANYTHING. They don’t care to actually learn. Its not a UK thing, or JMI thing. He also said that sometimes they can use the marks. That’s when there’s not an exclusive partners in the same industry.

[Kendrick Thomas @kendrick_t7]

@BleedBNetwork I mean it genuinely when I say, you don’t know what you’re talking about. Every single school has exclusive partners. Those contracts say that Kentucky marks cannot be used for sponsorships with competitors. That’s standard at all division one schools.

@seib_jourdan @GTRecruitBuzz @jimcavale He is 110% “grinding” to line his own pockets. Also, my face is very clearly on my Twitter profile.

[Kendrick Thomas @kendrick_t7]

@sxm6370 @KySportsRadio No. No other ADs are doing what Matt expects Mitch to do. He is in no way an outlier

[Kendrick Thomas @kendrick_t7]

@jimcavale They absolutely cannot solve it within the current law. You know that.

[Kendrick Thomas @kendrick_t7]

@seib_jourdan @AthletesOrg They’re not gonna hire you bro

@seib_jourdan @LoriTrahanMA @NCAA The athletes aren’t forced to do anything.

[Kendrick Thomas @kendrick_t7]

@seib_jourdan @achristovichh @NCAA What do you think the “S” in score act stands for????? Literally the first letter.

[Kendrick Thomas @kendrick_t7]

@BleedBNetwork @JustinMiracle19 @AdamLuckettKSR @vstyles17 You can’t call it a structure issue if you don’t even know what the structure should look like. Ironically, every school is set up differently

[Kendrick Thomas @kendrick_t7]

@BleedBNetwork There are a multitude of schools bringing NIL in house. You just don’t pay attention. It’s wise of him to not explain because you simply wouldn’t care to understand

[Kendrick Thomas @kendrick_t7]

@GTRecruitBuzz @jimcavale He knows you’re right. That’s why he won’t acknowledge your response. Only when he can use the cool one-liners will he respond

[Kendrick Thomas @kendrick_t7]

@InsightSportsLA @jimcavale What right does it take away from them?

[Kendrick Thomas @kendrick_t7]

@autumnwind5svr @38Godfrey What content is Saban doing??? It wouldn’t matter who Saban is talking about, people would care. So he shouldn’t be allowed to talk?

There were journalists there other than Marty. This story was one of/if not the biggest story of the year. Why wouldn’t espn be there

[Kendrick Thomas @kendrick_t7]

@rarerookies @KySportsRadio What you fail to realize is that he’s not wrong. P4 ADs hardly EVER have press conferences.

If Mitch was required to explain every decision he makes he’d never have time to make decisions.

[Kendrick Thomas @kendrick_t7]

@BKacinko @38Godfrey @stoolpresidente It’s absolutely no secret that Lane and Saban are good friends. It was never a secret that lane thought of Saban as a mentor. How does lane coaching in the playoff games benefit sexton/saban/kirk at all????
