Kentucky Fans Better Get Their NIL Act Together

The movers and shakers might need to pony up. The average fan has been priced out of attending games, much less kicking in payday for players. Get real. I've got bills to pay.
MB is the chief fundraiser for the Athletic Dept.

He has to make it a priority but is unwilling to do so as he wants all donor money to go to Athletic Fund so he can direct where the money goes and for which projects.

Probably not enough money to go around and I imagine donors are tapped out on sports donations also.

Not sure the whole NIL system is sustainable except for a handful of schools.
 
They can if there’s a cba in place…
Collective bargaining…that means bargaining with a union. So now you want college football players to form a Union and negotiate and bargain for a salary cap with schools who supposedly don’t run the nils? You see where I’m going with all this. I think what we have now is how it’s going to be and legally there’s no way to change it.
 
He will absolutely not allow his coaches to blatantly cheat. If you want to cheer for a dirty program Tennessee and Louisville are both right down the road.

Also LOL at how utterly clueless yall are, yet you guys are making all these ignorant claims about NIL. Who determines which players get what? This us a serious question from one of these NIL experts. The business, collective, or fan decides which player they want to do an NIL deal with. You dont know this basic info yet yall lie and claim UK decides who gets what.

You guys are a complete joke, yall can't even get your lies straight. Just stop lying and say you want to cheat and be a dirty program because others are doing it.
If everybody's doing it and you're not going to be punished...is it cheating? I sure want some of that.

U6 has/will have Republic Bank, UL Hospital, Humana and every other major hospital in town, Ford, ups, Brown Forman Lynn Family, Traver family, guys that own Planet fitness and many othe minor businesses in town supporting them. Besides UK hospital, Keeneland and the Crafts , who does UK have?

Yeah, if it violates the rules its cheating. I'm not sure why yall just don't say that you want to cheat and stop beating around the bush. Just say you want an AD who cheats and stop making up nonsense about UK not supporting NIL.

Hell I’ll say it. I don’t care if we cheat our ass off. I just want to win and I honestly don’t care how we do it. I don’t care about a boring style of play. I don’t care about ugly checker boards. I don’t care if our players go to class or not. I don’t care about nothing, except winning. The only incentive not to cheat for me is the repercussions of getting caught. There really doesn’t seem to be any risk at this point. So go out and do whatever it takes.

honestly if Mitch left tomorrow my top candidate would be Ric Flair.

So if EVERYBODY in the sec is going to do it...You don't want UK to?

There you go, now you don't have to lie and say UK doesn't support NIL. UK doesn't support cheating but you do.

No, that's the bad part if having standards and values, thats what guides you. What everyone else is doing is irrelevant. I don't do drugs, smoke cigarettes, or a lot of other things "everyone else is doing" because its against my standards.

Dude. It’s just ball. Everybody always wants to act like sports is so much more than what it is. It’s just ball.

Btw, we need to find the right drug for you. Or get you laid maybe?

The bourbon industry is owned now by Japanese conglomerates.

The horse people give two shit about college about college sports. At least the ones with real money to make a difference.
How do you say "Go Big Blue" in Japanese?
 
Sure, as long as you stop lying about UK not supporting NIL and simply admit that you want to cheat.
I have not lied about anything. I said in another thread they also triggered you that “if the reports are true about Mitch not being fully on board with NIL then UK is in trouble”. Then you got super pissy and wanted to know where these reports came from. I told it the the KSR radio show. They talk about this quite often. This is nearly verbatim. Either go back and get caught up or get out of my face loser.

oh and if you just scroll up a little bit on your screen you will see where I literally just posted that I am totally cool with cheating. What else do you want from me Mitch?

That's it, stop lying and admit you want to cheat. You've admitted that you want to cheat, now just stop lying. There's a reason you can't say how Mitch Barnhart isn't on board with NIL because you're lying, he isn'ton board with cheating.

LOL at you mindless KSR sheep repeating ignorant nonsense. Matt Jones cares about Matt Jones. There's a reason he doesn't have a collective, there's no way for him to profit off of it. He even has you sheep trashing JMI, his competitor. Well except they pay for their content, Matt just takes it.

Maybe but I don't spew ignorant lies I got from KSR on message boards. Tell me again bow UK doesn't support NIL? Oh wait, thats right, you can't. Smartest guy on the message board but can't back up a thing you say. Just " Thayts whut Mayutt sed." 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

You're dealing with apples and oranges...so by your standards if we must do what everyone else is doing. Sir, you might as well shut down the athletic department at UK . I most certainly am not going to pay for 4 tickets and everything that goes with it to not be competitive and l don't think anyone will.
 
I just don't think this fanbase is "feelin" NIL right now.
We are not a happy fanbase right now and thats mainly because of 9-16 and the St.Peters fiasco.
The football team has had some success but i don't think the average fan really buys into that UK football has went to another level.
A lot of that is Matt Jones hype.
No one can dispute that Brooks played better versions of UF, UT, USC and UL..
As far as being on the bottom of the SEC in football, the SEC is soon going to 16 teams and adding 2 football bluebloods to the fold.
A lot of good football programs are going to be fighting to stay off the bottom.
 
Neither is your irrationality or refusing to actually understand what I am saying in favor of your own point of view. UK sports is not my financial responsibility. If I am going to donate money it’s going to be the poor, to fighting disease, to fighting poverty, for medical research or other areas that actually make a difference in this world and something that is actually meaningful and important to society…. But hey I’m just a middle aged white man so what do I know right?
Scream louder….that will make us hear you better.

I understand what you’re saying even though I went to EKU.

So you get to have a POV and I don’t? Let me guess, Trump in 24 right?
 
Right, we need strippers and prostitutes for recuits, fake classes, and pay for play for recruits! Enough of this clean program business. Definitely not doing us any favors besides the best 5 year run in modern history and last year having the best recruit class in school history since there have been rankings. Who follows the rules, has morals, values, and standards in 2022? DITCH MITCH!
Dude, I’m all for playing by the rules.

Mitch isn’t playing by the rules. Mitch is playing by how he thinks college sports should operate. That’s no longer the case.

The rules are different that Mitch’s mindset.

You really think it 's that simple?
Is he the only AD in power 5 thats playing it the way he is?
So it's Mitch vs everybody else. Surely you don't believe that.
Mitch still answers to the Board of Trustees and the President.
If they wanted to do a 180 on NIL, alcohol sales or anything else they could force Mitch's hand or force him to seek other employment.

How is he not playimg by the rules? Specifically what are you claiming he's not allowing?
 
I know nothing about that site.

What I do know about UK NIL is that Mitch will absolutely NOT ALLOW CMS to use it as an incentive in RECRUITING, where UT, Bama, TA&M, Auburn, Arkansas, MO, USC and probably others use it to recruit players with promise of fixed $$$$ amounts if they sign with them.

I also see UK BB players are well taken care of, so is the website set up for all UK athletics combined?

If so, who determines which players get what??

With the coaches not being allowed to have input, I am pretty sure there are built-in inequities in the program. But, like I said, I don't know and not sure anyone on the outside really knows how it is being run.

But, I can also tell that from that last spat, Cal and BB players seem very happy and CMS an FB seem to have problems. Could it be NIL??

Look at our recruiting ranking in FB. Watch the portal. I am afraid it is going to get really ugly for CMS and the UK FB program in the near future.

I don't think CMS will hang around and watch it burn. JMO.
The website addresses a lot of that. But I didn’t read all of it either.

We’re now seeing the fruits of the nil that was predicted before it was even put in place. no one should be surprised or upset—we all knew this was coming.
College sports is now a wide open pay for play game. i’m not bitching because i don’t have any skin in the game, and wouldn’t even if i could afford it. whoever has the most cash is going to field the best teams (think pro sports). nil is a nail in the coffin of college athletics. the price of championship trophies will now skyrocket unless the ncaa (🤡😂) puts it’s foot down.
It will be interesting to see how the fans who advocated for paying college athletes like it when their favorite teams can’t afford to keep up with the big boys.

So is it fair to say we should just not worry about football at all or leave the sec for a shittier conference? If everyone already accepts we will never win the sec why should fans ever attend games Or even watch?
Like it or not i think it’s safe to say we may never win the sec, at least nearly never. twice in 89 years and one of those titles was shared with georgia. for some reason the uk big money boosters don’t like football as much as basketball.

I literally have already answered your question. All of your questions really. After your Xanax kicks in, just go back and read and child you will have all your answers. But really Mitch, this is unbecoming of a guy of your station. You must calm down little guy.

Actually you didn't say how UK doesn't support NIL because you can't, it's a lie. You low character folks come up with a false premise and will tell any lie to defend it. Again, you just want to cheat and pay recruits which isn't NIL.

Ok dummy listen up. Read it real slow so maybe you will understand. I said it was REPORTED that Mitch wants NIL money to go to the school and not the individual athletes that the money is expected to go to. I said IF these reports are true then we are in trouble and that’s because our competition is doing it differently.

now stop embarrassing yourself and wasting everyone’s time.

He isn't " making up " things. It's a well known fact Mitch doesn't like the NIL and Stoops has even alluded to it in conversations
 
They got their talking points from Matt Jones. A man with an agenda who used to make money off of UK players name image and likeness with the KSR shop and can no longer do that. How much money did Anthony Davis get from the sales of Brow Down t shirts? Not a a dime. A bunch of KSR fanboys fighting daddy Matt's battles against UK because he wants for free what they paid $210 million for.

There's are the same people who defend him stealing others content and presenting it as his own.
