    Any interest in Trevon Brazile?

    Clearly some of y’all seem to have heard about his alleged role on his team last year. It appears others of you either haven’t or don’t put stock in/care about the rumors.

    Drew to UK?

    I’d be for it. Not a grand slam but a big upgrade and we could easily do worse.

    Billy Donavan

    Why does Goldens name keep coming up in this thread?

    Athletic article by K. Tucker just posted

    None of us, obviously, knows but I think the handler is simply being used as a scapegoat. Sharpe co-signed everything that happened through his actions/inaction. I don't think there was agreement for him to play other than his handler. I think even his handler is secretly okay with being...

    Athletic article by K. Tucker just posted

    Cal used to talk of a principle of sorts that would have fixed this situation IMO. He used to say that the season was when players but each other/the team first and the off season is when it becomes about them as individuals. Sharpe didn't abide by this at all (isn't the first Cal has had to...

    Wheeler is soft

    Agree about Sharpe but the majority of your take is laughable.

    Out of state UK fans

    Central Arkansas here, and I agree with the above. I see UK fans frequently but FAR FAR more Arkansas fans and likely more LSU fans as well. Most fans, like most SEC states, much more into football - though that's not going well currently. But the basketball fans I know are really...

    Favorite non-UK SEC team

    Definitely Arkansas. Moved to the state 6 years ago and have seen a lot more fan support for them than I would have expected. Even easier to pull for them with Anderson gone.

    KSR without Matt Jones is hard to listen to.

    I'll tell you something that irks me - the fact that guys like Kyle and Matt both ***** so much about how people tell them to "stick to sports." While they have every right to stick to whatever they want to, isn't it logical that, if I follow the primary account for a professional that covers...

    KSR without Matt Jones is hard to listen to.

    Count me in as another that doesn't listen much when Matt is gone. Drew is the best of the others but really they all need Matt to be there in order for their roles to work. Personally, I don't see what Ryan adds to the show but Matt clearly does - and it does appear that he likely knows...

    KY Legislature Moves to Create Comparable Bill to CA Fair Pay to Play

    So I did understand you. We care so much about the academic enrichment of athletes that we deem it worth while to limit the "crazy money" (a phrase I agree with) that some of them may be distracted by. That's not the case but, if it were, we should go ahead and limit other types of...

    KY Legislature Moves to Create Comparable Bill to CA Fair Pay to Play

    I think its clear kids have more worth than their getting given the impermissible benefits kids are accused of getting. Many of them clearly have significant worth. Nike, among other companies (shoe and otherwise) would sign many of the top players prior to college. Hell, they're already...

    KY Legislature Moves to Create Comparable Bill to CA Fair Pay to Play

    Want to make sure I understand you... Restricting the money athletes can make on the free market is justified because of the positive affect this has on education? If that were the case, other students would be restricted as well. We can pretend to care about student-athlete academics all...

    KY Legislature Moves to Create Comparable Bill to CA Fair Pay to Play

    It strikes me that we're at a crossroads where we pretty much have to decide if we want what is best and most fair for athletes or best for our enjoyment of college sports. Because the two outcomes seem diametrically opposed. Most every argument (maybe every single one) that I've heard...

    KY Legislature Moves to Create Comparable Bill to CA Fair Pay to Play

    A lot of us would prefer this but it doesn't appear to be reality.
