Outgoing AD Mitch has agreed to a distribution deal for all UK Men's basketball games for the 26-27 season. Pluto TV reps said they're excited to be a part of the UK family. Upon hearing news of the deal, ESPN, the former televiser of SEC basketball games said, "whatever." AD Barnhart remarked, "All games should be open and free to the public, and this is the next best thing."

Was really hoping they could’ve gotten a piece of that sweet Samsung Channel deal but apparently Gordon Ramsey threw a hissy fit about bumping the Hell’s Kitchen channel and he killed it.

Even though this is a Satirical post, in reality if UK could sign a deal for 6-8 games to be played on a free streaming service available to everyone I think it would actually be a win win. More eyeballs see the program without having to have SEC Network, ESPN +, or another paid subscription to see it. Also these free services like Pluto TV have a lot of revenue from ads, over 10 Billion last year alone and owned by Paramount.

Dammit you got me. I thought it actually sounded like a good idea, particularly for early non-con games. Oh well...
