Where's the tickets to Camden Park?Damn it's starting to feel like the old UMWA strikes. Fkn A man
So glad to see this. Letter was apparently sent by Brett Setzer, a UK Booster, to Capiluto to reverse the stupid golden parachute deal for Mitch. The letter was well written straight to the heart of the issue. You will have to go the KSR site to read the article but the ball is clearly in the Administrations court and the fact that it happened this is a very bad look for the Administration. Folks aren't happy and this time it's folks that support the Athletic programs with their sizable donations. It will be interesting if the University will see them as knuckleheads as well. Setzer makes a strong argument that BBN deserves much more from this University, rather than being called childish names and brushed off as knuckleheads.
Kudos to Mr. Setzer. We need more people in his position who’ll stand up against this sort of inside dealing and cronyism corruption.
Here’s some more, bud (my Blues Bro):
UK spokesman Jay Blanton said the school had not received the letter as of Monday afternoon.
“However, we respect Mr. Setzer as a valued supporter of our program and hope to meet with him to further understand his concerns,” Blanton said.
God this university leadership is in the twilight zone
Setzer needs to bring a posse of boosters with him
How entitled do you have to be to think you can just slip in a $950K per year fake job and no one will notice or care?
Tells me they've been bilking UK for a while.

I appreciate how Setzer stood up for BBN ... and he's right about that. I've always said this program is nothing without BBN, which is special and unappreciated by the knuckleheads in the AD's office. They should call for an audit of the Athletic Department ... there's enough smoke to believe there's probably a fire.
It is very important to speak up right now especially with the AD hire looming.
The dog and pony show of the internal promotion without even seriously considering external candidates is a joke especially if Marc Hill pushed for Pope and the conflict of interest Rachel Baker has to JMI.

We need more boosters to speak up. A collective refusal to supply cash until 8itch Barnhart is ousted for good would be an excellent starting point.
Like Cal said, "throw a rock into a pack of dogs and the one that yelps is the one that got hit."
Barnhart is yelping. Showing frustration and calling fans knuckleheads. Tells me all I need to know.

Guaranteed corruption. Feels like a mega church preaching nothing but a prosperity gospel.
Even if you ignored all of the bad contracts and coaching hires from his resume, the swim team scandal alone should have sent MB packing.
He said exactly how we all feel. When the boosters start getting pissed something will get done. When no money is flowing into the program changes will be made.
Yes, this is 100% he definitely been part of all this mess!
Need to find a way to tell Brett Seltzer we are with you. Is there a way to start a petition and get signatures in support of the Seltzer letter. I think it would be another way to apply pressure which is needed.
If I’m a booster and spent big money and it resulted in a 7-seed, round of 32 don’t think I’d be happy. This is not noteworthy.
He’s not upset with Pope though or at least that’s not what this article is about. He’s unhappy with Mitch’s new retirement gig. That I think is a big deal. One thing I think we can all agree on is the new AD hire is huge
The shows how out of control the athletic dept is. Cap said the other day they need to cut expenses then why are they paying Mitch an additional $2mil?
Mitch Barnhart has been the worst athetic director in decades. Kentucky basketball should have at least 3 titles and the football program should’ve already been relevant by now.
This is the de facto comment section for the articles that get people talking, nothing wrong with that.
Initial takeaway: we live in an era where people actually pretend (I hope) to be offended by being called “knuckleheads.” BBN is full of people desperate to be offended. The therapy bills in this state must be outrageous.
