    Why are older people so opposed to bringing back Rick Pitino?

    Same here.

    Pope - Largest Roster Rebuild in Program History

    If this team was on while that was going on it would absolutely kill the mood.

    JQ hurt again?

    10 points, 8 rebounds, and 2 blocks in just 17 minutes, that was his stat line against St. Johns. That was the game I was referring to.

    JQ hurt again?

    I was at the game, JQ absolutely dominated Ejiofor. Strong with the ball and couldn't be moved off the block.

    Kansas outright leader for Stokes

    Tommy Amaker was a smart dude too — polished, impressive résumé, big reputation… and totally in over his head once the lights got bright at Michigan. Mark Pope feels like the same movie with a different lead actor. Great story, sharp guy, says all the right things — but UK isn’t a lab...

    JMI Sports & NIL Issue

    JMI can pitch NIL opportunities to athletes, build deals that pair corporate partners + UK athletes, handle compliance paperwork, contract flow, payments and also provide a marketplace that makes NIL easier. They can't force athletes to sign with their platform, or have any exclusivity rights...

    JMI…Learfield….Playfly

    At the end of the day the JMI deal may slow things down some but still has the potential to provide a massive amount of cash. The worry is having coaches that spend wisely. This is where the need for a quality GM type talent evaluator comes in. Right now I think we're all in shock with what is...

    Yeah, from JMI’s side there’s definitely a ‘better safe than sorry’ mindset. But that’s also kind of the culture they were hired into. Barnhart has always leaned ultra-conservative on compliance, branding, and risk that’s been his operating style for 20 years. So JMI isn’t just checking boxes...

    Think of it like Congress: every school has a ‘CLC House of Representatives’ reviewing the marks. But Kentucky also has a ‘JMI Senate.’ Even if the House approves something quickly, it can still get held up in the Senate. Meanwhile, other SEC schools essentially operate with just one chamber...

    At Georgia, Tennessee, LSU, etc., once CLC clears the marks, the school’s NIL structure is pretty streamlined. There usually isn’t an additional multimedia-rights partner controlling categories, activations, or existing sponsor conflicts on top of the licensing step. That’s why their co-branded...

    You’re focusing on whether a player can sign a deal with Pepsi instead of Coca-Cola. That’s not the issue, and nobody is arguing that. The real friction isn’t who an athlete can sign with — it’s what happens the moment the deal touches UK assets JMI controls: marks, logos, venue space...

    JMI…Learfield….Playfly

    Nobody said players can’t sign NIL deals with whoever they want — that’s true everywhere. The issue isn’t whether deals exist, it’s the friction created when NIL intersects with assets that JMI controls: categories, marks, in-venue activations, digital inventory, and sponsor exclusivity. That’s...

    If that’s a lie, just point me to the part of the agreement that gives UK unrestricted NIL freedom without JMI’s categories or approvals. If that exists, I’ll happily stand corrected.

    The SCORE Act bill lost bipartisan support, got pulled before a vote, and nobody in Congress wants to carry the NCAA’s water in an election year. It has no votes, no momentum, and no future.
