Did Matt share with him how much more fans want uk to succeed in bball versus football? You know - the “bball moves the uk needle” message he always shares with listeners.

Also, did he share with Stein that the bball team needs more Nil than the football team?

He seems quite dejected over whiffing on Seneca Driver. I won’t fault him for it since he had dig himself out of a massive hole, but that was a tough loss.
Considering Stoops wasn’t even interested in him, I don’t think using the word “whiffed” is very accurate.

Kentucky fans will go crazy if Stein can get to the playoffs occasionally, and maybe win a title.

Kentucky football will have more NIL money than basketball, and should. Believe it or not, CFB is way more popular than CBB. It’s also produces a lot more revenue.

If Stein can do what Cignetti has done, Kentucky football will become a lot more popular than Basketball. He’s turned IU into a football school. Unthinkable just a few years ago. Same could happen here. Kentucky has a lot of football fans, but can you imagine how many more will come out the woodwork if Stein can come close to Cignetti’s success?

Indiana is still a basketball school. Florida is still a football school. These things are generational.

I personally would prefer football success over basketball. But that's just me. I love football.

Good points and yes, I can imagine that scenario. Unfortunately, I can also imagine many who would resist it because of the historical “uk is a basketball school” mindset. But to my original point, it doesn’t help when you have media influences continuing to say that football is good but basketball is better.
