NIL in Kentucky

Hate Executive Orders but even I can get behind this.
This was needed due to inaction of legislature and NCAA
I’m not huge on executive orders either, but this one is a good one.
Could this help Duren come to UK? Yes but even though he would start from day 1 we are very crowded at the 4-5 spots. Duren Tshiebwe Collins Toppin alone would be the best frontcourt in college basketball.
So, Kentucky basketball as we know it ceases to exist with that order.
It was a nice run.
It was a nice run.
I just want Duren.
I'm not a fan of it either, but it was coming sooner rather than later whether we wanted it to or not. Unfortunately.
It was coming anyway. At least now, we are not handicapped against the states that already passed legislation.
Seriously though, how in the hell did this not happen decades ago? Just amazes me honestly. I know it changes the game of college basketball drastically, but it only makes sense.
Good point on bringing Mintz back.
The best front court in college basketball? Yeah I doubt that. Look at Gonzaga. There’s is absolutely better. Duke’s is probably better as well. Along with other schools
Waste and usual, predictable grandstanding. Ncaa already said they will have rules in place on July 1. Politically it's a moot issue.
And if there's anything we can definitely rely on, it's the NCAA making the right decision.
We all know relying on the NCAA works out well...
Duren or no Duren, Ware won't play much.
Although no Duren, I guess we could need him if have an injury.
But I think adding Duren, or Mintz, or especially both almost mandates that we have a Platoon. Not necessarily 20/20, but maybe 24/16 or 26/14.
Nah. Paolo is pretty even talent wise with Duren, Timme is a great college player, but nobody would have that much talent and depth in the front court. Brooks also can play the 4.
I'm a big fan of what Gonzaga has done and the rosters they have been able to assemble. Timme and Holmgren will be a strong frontcourt. There's not a recruit in this class that I wanted more than Paolo Bachero, I think he is going to be a stud for Duke.
With that said Duren, along with Collins and Tshiebwe puts us right in the conversation..... if that happens.
Thanks Andy! You’d be willing willing to make my life miserable for an eternity but thankfully you’ll allow a handful of guys that jump high live the dream. My kids appreciate it I’m sure
Shameful that Kentucky would pass this. I hope these kids go play for Bruce Pearl to make their NIL money in order to preserve the integrity and amateurism of the college game.
And politicians are better? This is not a government issue, especially a state government issue, point blank period.
Especially so when there is action imminent with a date of delivery already on the books.
if you're worried about your kids teach them something besides this inaccurate bitterness for likes online.

Lol. I guess relying on the NCAA is a sure bet, right? I wouldn’t trust the NCAA to tie my shoes let alone tell me how my athletes get paid. Screw them.
I guess all teams can now make STRONG *** offers!
Timme and Holmgren are going to get bullied when it counts, jot that down.
I’ll take Duren and Tshiebwe ALL DAY.
I'm no fan of Andy Beshear, but that does not make him wrong here. To say NCAA action is imminent is just being willfully blind at this point. If they do something, and nobody even knows if they will, then that's fine and Andy's order amounts to very little. But the NCAA has known this day was coming since California passed their law nearly 2 years ago. What substantive measures have they enacted in that time?
In what way does it affect you that CJ Fredrick can now take money for signing autographs?
And this applies to every student athlete, not just the ones that can jump high. This is a big deal and a positive development in my view.
I’ve never had a Facebook, snap chat, til tok or Instagram in my life. I don’t think likes are what I chase.
