Capilouto is the root of the problem. Just handing out money to his buddy.
If Mitch wasn’t ready to retire and still wanted to collect a paycheck, why didn’t he just stay AD? I want to hope he has gotten some major heat and criticism over Pope. Fearful that his deputy or associate AD is gonna just step into the role.
“Executive in residence for the UK sports and workforce initiative”?! LMAO WTF kinda faux, made up position is this?! WOW!
I'm glad this is getting some attention. Eli should get canned over this...
He must have pictures of Eli and a couple of farm animals
Question- will these extra years help qualify MB for a Ky state retirement pension or does UK give a pension. I believe he has 24 years at UK.
I thought you had to have 27 years to get a state pension? Or is that just teachers?

Absolutely the biggest douche bag bs position I’ve ever heard of
Im convicned, with absolutely nothing to bsck this claim up, that he was voluntold to step down. If we paid $22mil for this roster, there are a LOT of pissed off business owners, benefactors, etc. And I bet a lot of them had issues with Mitch going back to Cal days (we sure know now, which one of the two we should have gotten rid of first..)..
I think he was told to resign, and I think he knee the pressure was mounting and this was inevitable. It aint like the off season is gonna be any easier. Kentucky is gonna have 14 losses and no meaningful tournament wins.. People are gonna be pissed in march, in April, in May, etc. Seems everyone knew it was time.)
Why doesn’t this turd just go away? Hasn‘t he done enough damage to UK sports?
Brainfart should have been fired instead of giving the opportunity to retire
Hopefully his new position requires some fund raising to offset his salary and put money back into the athletic department
Because he hired another failure. This is a way to collect a million per and not be on the hot seat for another blunder.
He doesn’t want to fire the guy he hired. So, get out of Dodge, while the gettin’s good.
Not sure if it is the same for Mitch, but state workers can draw partial retirement after 15 years, retirement with insurance after 20, full retirement after 27 years or age 60 with number of years worked used as retirement income multipler.
Any other school Mitch would be fired for the Cal/Stoops contracts. But, here we give him a multimillion retirement package as a goodwill gift. UK is a joke!
That was the vibes I was getting after the Auburn game, the comments Pope made and the way Mitch was reacting.
He’s probably black mailed them for something. This guy is a scum bag. Should have been fired the day of the swim scandal.
He made millions as AD. Cannot imagine state pension was a factor
I thought we were told to quit talking about this. Mitch Barnhart himself told us to quit talking about it. Seems like he’s the expert on his own life and job so we should definitely just trust him. Can’t wait for Wednesday’s game.
this is satire.
Could have sworn that someone posted here that he wa set to retire at the end of the season before we even played our first game.
Seems like Capilouto and Barnhart aren’t as squeaky clean as they would have others believe.
Glad Rob Bromley is the case! I'll be watching the Sports Minute with eager anticipation.
I mean believe it or not in some markets that’s like an 1100 square foot condo or smaller.
Anyone who had anything to do with this ridiculous deal needs to be fired immediately, with all of their shi t thrown to the curb.
They are corrupt bureaucrats just like the rest of them. Fakes and frauds who have no business running a school.
