    Hubert Davis is paid $2.6M a year...

    UNC is a much less stressful job.

    What Joe Craft has done for UK sports is unmatched and should be noted by fans. In this era, without him we would struggle.

    No endorsements for politicians or political parties. That stuff is ruining the country. Keep it out of BBN.

    If the Oscar stuff is true, good on Cal for stopping Kelly Craft trying to bring politics into UK Sports. The Craft family can do whatever they want with money, but keep politics out of it.

    Bolden Sunday Announcement

    I don't know why people are being laughed at for thinking its Duke?

    Early Pre-preseason Rankings for '16/'17

    Next year is going to be fun. There will be lots of good teams and it'll feel like the 2014/2015 season again (minus the 40-0 talk for us). I see Duke as the best team next year, unless we were to add Bolden.

    Next season

    That's not by accident. If it's a good recruiting year, everyone profits. The reason the entire field sucked this year, was because the 2015 recruiting class wasn't that talented. Same thing for the 2013 season... the 2012 recruiting class was dismal. Also, can we stop with the undefeated...

    Players who are signing with an agent are announcing tomorrow.

    Skal looks like a Harrow situation right now

    I think the OP is spot on. We're seeing similarities in personalities, not styles of play. Both players were scared to be on the court under the spotlight of UK basketball. Both players are handling it differently, Harrow tried to run away by quitting the team... Skal probably feels like he just...

    Rupp: New HD video boards (pic)

    Rupp needs Wifi... thankfully it'll be getting it. Its not for "selfies", its to enhance the in game experience. Attendance around the country is down, people are now choosing instead to watch the game at home or in sports bars because of HDTV (& alcohol). Rupp is eventually going to have...

    Tai Wynyard Headed to UK Next Week

    The biggest addition he'll bring is a physicality to practice, that we've probably been lacking down low. That alone will be a huge help. If he can bang on Skal and Lee in practice, hopefully they'll be more accustomed during games.

    Bam Adebayo deciding tomorrow

    Feels like a smokescreen to bring hype and attention to his announcement. I would love to have him but I'll believe it when I see it.

    What?????--Book alleges UofL used escort services

    McGee hired UofL's lawyer. Does anyone seriously believe Pitino hasn't been in direct communication with McGee this whole time? This only save's Pitino's butt... doesn't help UofL. When people refuse to talk to the NCAA, they take that as guilt. Remember when Derrick Rose wouldn't talk to them?

    Kentucky making up ground with Giles

    I would love to see it... but I'm not getting my hopes up.

    What?????--Book alleges UofL used escort services

    The city of Louisville is referred to as the greatest college sports town because of the Louisville, Indiana & Kentucky Fans that share the city. It is a great college sports town. Having multiple fanbases in the city makes every restaurant, bar, sports bar a great venue to watch a game. Half...

    What?????--Book alleges UofL used escort services

    I don't think Tim Sullivan's tweet was meant as being protective of UofL Athletics. He's simply stating that this woman potentially pimped out her underage daughters. Whatever comes of the NCAA investigation IS trivial compared to these alleged crimes. There is real life and then there are...
