I’m not sure if it’s not I’ll delete it . He didn’t tweet it I know that but several are saying he said it
Except it is very real.
Well things just got really interesting for Barney & Eli.
I can’t imagine the things behind the scenes that has to be at play in order for that statement to be made.
This clearly shows multiple people on the board or within the university are trying to force change.

It is real. Sh it about to get interesting.
Couldn’t imagine doing so bad at a historic basketball school with the best backing in the country that the governor of said state has to intervene…insane
Good. There needs to be big changes within the university. We have become a good ol boys network. Students and fans be damned, we got admins who needs millions!
Well I guess Matt Jones got his bosom buddy involved ….
Dig into JMI’s contract and conflicts of interest, so on and so forth. There’s plenty to go around, just use the law school situation to break the ice on the rest of the thievery.
ETA: his mention of the $1 mil job with no actual duties, that has to be Barnhart, right? Or perhaps they’ve cooked up a whole host of similarly useless titles for their “network”.

I actually love that. Ef crooked Eli and Mitch
And spectacular
I’ve been asking for the governor to get involved in this. I wouldn’t mind seeing Barney in jail for three years. I mean it’s gotta be a penalty, the guys crooked as they come.
One of the few things I actually agree with Beshear about. Well said sir!!
Nah it’s just a couple of knuckleheads asking questions
Of all people to call someone else a crook...
Wonder what Brett Setzer has been up to lately. He's been kind of quiet.
I’m sure people will make this political. But, I’m happy people are realizing there are serious problems at UK. It’s a cesspool of greed and corruption
Well I certainly give credit where it's due. What do you think Andy's screenname is on here?
Now suddenly not even Eli's job is safe 
Most definitely. That was directly aimed at Barnhart and that sleazy corrupt golden parachute deal he worked out for himself.
That statement really is something else. Not sure if I’ve ever seen a governor call out institutional corruption at the state’s flagship University quite like that before.
It increasingly seems like UKmay need a total overhaul of its leadership from top to bottom.
Pardon my ignorance. I understand that Kentucky is a state funded school. What jurisdiction does the governor actually have over the university, if any at all? Does he have the power to override the board of trustees? Can the governor fire Dr. Eli Capilouto ? How do these things even work?

Not in this thread. We aren't ruining this great news.
This is awesome . Before they said it’s just stupid fans
This is straight up getting ugly but is exactly what needs to be done. While I cannot stand Beshear, this ain’t about politics. This is about a select few crooks completely overtaking the main university of the entire states athletic dept.
Eli, Mitch Barnhart, and Mark Pope literally need to leave Lexington today.

This has nothing to do with how the basketball team is doing.
I am by no means a fan of the governor. I can put my personal feelings aside. If he can step in and fix this **** show that we are witnessing. He’s got my full support on this issue.
Hoping a statement like this forces UK to go outside of the Barnhart lineage for the new AD.
While he might be right, AB loves him some big government.
Who’s got the scoop on the law school dean? I’ve read the articles indicating that the faculty opposed the appointment on the grounds of qualifications and tenurability, but why did the administration appoint him anyway? What are the politics behind the choice?
