Sure sounds like a personal attack by Eli on the Gov.

Not a smart move in public forum, coupled with fact that Gov. could be able to impact your state funding to UK and potentially your employment (speculation).

These listening post exercises Eli references lately can be **** exercises simply to mitigate legal risk and accountability. In other words save Eli *** from fiduciary risk (law suits) from making wrong hires or not following appropriate legal processes.

I am sick of saying it and others sick of reading it.

But add this to the growing list of concerns, this prior season and off season, regarding UK administrative and basketball leadership.

It is beyond a **** show at this point.

Is this guy clueless?


Look. I think Capilouto has done some amazing thigs for UK. Healthcare took a hyper leap under his leadership. He was brought in specifically for that and he has delivered in spades. He created the top healthcare system in the state. for 10 years running. I think the Barnhart thing was a huge mistake. But my guess is that he does not focus on athletics at all. He inherited Barnhart. Barnhart has always been the issue. Not the president. As for the Governor.....he is not the sharpest tool in the shed. I have zero respect for his leadership ability. He is nothing but a figure head and a partisan. He has done nothing to improve Kentucky. He is a talker and not a doer. So I will side with the UK president everyday and twice on Sunday. Even with the Barnhart issues.

Yes, I am sure Eli has done those things and are great for the university. However, he was the sole person who gave Mitch the 2mil 2 year extension for doing nothing. That is corruption.

Okay Eli's wife.

I’d tell the Gov to F&&k off.

Money didn’t come out of his cradle to grave entitlement pockets.

I highly doubt Andy would like anyone auditing the state, which is actually the people’s money. Not to stray too far off the rails but we all know government lib and pub blows money. All the things getting caught and brought to light in other states, Andy seems mighty confident he can stir a fuss and someone peek into what Frankfort is doing without finding something

I agree MBs retirement gig was a little much, but it wasn’t coming out of state funds.

You hate the Basketball coach, you hate the players, you hate the athletic director, now you have the president. If you hate everyone why don't you just set at home and stay off this board, and stop ruining it for everyone else with your hate.
I don't really hate the players and the coach they just aren't UK caliber though. I've always hated Mitch and Eli nothing has changed there they've been holding our program down for years. BTW if you don't like what I post just skip over it or block me. I love it when people like you like tell people how they can be a fan...

A very respected federal judge and UK law grad is named Dean of the law school and Beshear goes on the political attack because the judge is not a woke liberal. The governor tosses in the Mitch contract to get a portion of UK fans riled up. This is a fabricated story and people here are the rubes it was meant to stir.

I nominate myself for President.

I got this.



1st move:

Reduce my pay to $1. Increase the employees pay across the board with mine.

You don't even have to pay me a dollar really. I kick *** for free.




Hamburgers for my supporters... Let the rest of them eat cake.

UK is very much a good ol' boys network. The Admin draw enormous salaries, while the education is very stagnant and not improving. The staff get minuscule raises. UK's standing in college rankings is extremely poor considering it's the flagship university. There is no accountability on anything. Major decisions are done under the table. Mitch's new gig was originally supposed to be paid from the general fund, which caused an outcry. Now he will just leave. They really need a clean sweep.

I wish they would investigate them all for fraud and arrest them. Clean house.
I totally agree and it's awful strange that the governor speaks on the situation about Mitch's comfy job and the next day Mitch gives it up. There definitely isn't nothing strange about a guy giving a 1million a year gig up because the governor basically calls out the corruption.

A majority of faculty disagreed with his appointment for various reasons including leadership, which is critical to the responsibilities of a dean. Progression to appointment at that point of contention shouldn't occur unless there is outstanding reasoning, which there was not, according to what I could find.

I agree it was at least partly politically motivated, but I believe the statement signals that the state will be watching how things are done from here on out. Are boards acknowledged? Are the proper channels and bylaws in place and being followed? The appointment of the dean and MB's golden parachute show a concerning lack of input from the faculty and discretion from established leadership when it comes to hiring and creating positions.

Just my 2¢ as someone who deals with **** like this for breakfast. Faculty getting the shaft is nothing new. Legitimate complaints getting silenced is commonplace. Glaring holes getting shelved is another Tuesday.

I think you are wrong on enrollment being Stagnant. While other institutions are facing declining enrollment UK is actually growing .

For the most part, the coach, players (as a group), the AD and the president......are objectively bad. The guy you're replying to sounds more in touch with reality than you do.

Okay Eli's wife.
Beshear has been a great governor. He has always worked without having a majority in the House or Senate. At least he has been able to somewhat neutralize the knuckle dragging republican and MAGA members of the legislature. If you really want to look for ignorance, take a peak at the Ky. senate leadership.

This is the real motive of Andy. He’s running for president and is burnishing his liberal credentials.
