    ?'s about redshirt/eligiblity rules; like how was Prickett able to play 5 years?

    Prickett did not play his redshirt year, so he took five years but played four. As to when freshmen were not eligible, you are correct, they had four years to play three. Your question about older people with degrees who never played is addressed (I think) by a rule requiring eligibility to play...

    i want Cameron Johnson

    Used to be able to do this. I don't think there was any limit on scholarships, or if there were, it was quite high. Rupp would sign players he knew would never play just so they wouldn't go to another SEC school. This was particularly true of Kentucky natives. He didn't want them going to a...

    When did UK games start being televised?

    I really can't contribute anything regarding the tape delays or when most of the games started being broadcast. I do remember watching tape delays, I think in the '70s. What I also remember is when the games were on the radio. Prior to the plethora of games on tv, the SEC schedule was such that...

    First televised NC game

    I definitely remember the games with UCLA in the early 1960s. Not sure before that, but another poster said 1954. That could be it.

    Question for old timers about three pointers..

    Don't remember where I heard this, may be apocryphal, but here goes. One time when Dampier played at UK, during a practice Rupp noticed as soon as Dampier shot all the other players, both those on his squad and the opposing squad, would turn and take off for the other end of the court. They...
