You need a course in logic badly.

I have a much higher IQ than you, by the way. I have been professionally tested multiple times and scored in the top 99th percentile. Don't give "advice" or opinions to people who are objectively smarter than you.

But I've read on this board a blue million times that UK won't ever be outspent and money isn't an issue... (sorry I had to).

This chart tracks with a lot of other data that has been out there, roughly $15.5 million from Rev Share and another $8-$9 million in NIL monies lands within that $23-$26 range (from the other sites posting projected NIL data ranges).

I know they are two different sports, but this makes you question that "$22 million dollar roster" claim for UK basketball last year, considering Rev Share wasn't a thing yet to offset some of that cost. Our donors gave Pope $22 million for a 15 player roster, but only gave Stein $8 million to field an entire 100 to 105 player football team roster. Something doesn't add up. Just like we reportedly gave $6 million for Milan, but Stein only got $8 million for the whole squad from the donors? I mean, maybe. But sheesh, if that's true, our donors must hate football, or enjoy wasting their money.

My first thought was, where does Ole Miss get their money? I’ll have to dig into that later unless someone already knows.

If I'm not mistaken Realtree brand is a major Ole Miss donor/sponsor. I remember reading that somewhere and thinking, really? Also, wonder if the Tulley's (the Blind Side) are still big donors. lol

How is Arkansas not spending more than everyone in football? Don't they have like 4 billionaire families in that area or with connections to the school?

If I had a billion dollars, I would definitely donate a ton for basketball because we have a history of winning. I would be more reluctant to just throw millions at football because it's less likely to get results...at least until Kentucky football is fully committed to winning at a high level. I imagine there is a similar reluctance among our donors.

Also, JMI is supposed to leverage the UK brand to help with NIL money. Kentucky basketball is one of the biggest brands in college...Kentucky football clearly isn't.

We likely have a money problem in football, but are very likely one of the top spenders in basketball. Money has never been a problem for Kentucky basketball.

I’m surprised with how much Ole Miss has and how little for Georgi. Rest about what I expected. It’s why I have few hopes for UK football.

Not to be that guy and bring up Pope during a football game... but this just proves why Kentucky basketball and Pope have 0 excuses getting beat by 30 to Alabama in basketball.

These SEC football schools put ALL of their time, money and attention into football and it is clear they have a talent advantage, yet Kentucky is still getting embarrassed in basketball.

THESE SCHOOLS DON'T CARE ABOUT BASKETBALL. No excuses this year.

Mark pope is a complete fraud. Bama owns pope

They don’t but they’re willing to put enough money in to compete with UK.
