He had to be convinced to set up a collective? Sir, he never set up a collective. Schools and ADs aren’t allowed to set up collectives, collectives are 3rd parties. Collectives are allowed to pay players for their name image and likeness, schools and ADs are not, that’s pay for play and 100% illegal. Learn the basics before making up BS. Your point the whole time is made up BS.
Oh so now you’re changing it from he had to be convinced to set up a collective to he had to be convinced to allow Kentucky and outside sources to do it? LOL, again collectives are independent and he has no real control over them and ability to allow them to exist. You right now could start a collective and you don’t need anyone’s permission.
No I sad the whole he had to be convinced to let a collective be set up, you choose to see and respond the way you wanted. This ain’t worth arguing over anymore, you like I like Kentucky let’s just leave it at that
You ran out of lies is what happened. Collectives are independent and Mitch Barnhart doesn’t control them, but he had to be convinced to let one set up. Too funny.
No I don’t have any lies, I just realized arguing with you, when you have no idea what you are talking about it isn’t worth it. So have a good day or don’t, you seem like the type to argue even when somebody is being nice to you
OK Mr Mitch Barnhart set up a collective, I’m the one who has no idea. You’re a joke and a fraud. Imagine making up lies that hurt your own program like this clown.
Brother it’s a a message board I have no impact on Kentucky athletics besides giving them money, your acting like you are far more important than you are. And it’s not lies you are choosing to ignore everything
I’m acting like you’re lying and promoting a false narrative that hurts UK. I’m a nobody, you’re a guy promoting the lie that UKs AD doesn’t support NIL.
It’s not a lie if multipe media people said mitch was behind on NIL and that it was hurting Kentucky but pop off man
There’s a reason you can’t say what he isn’t doing that is holding back NIL and cite “multiple media people” and no actual evidence. Nameless media members who you can’t name and can’t name the reasons they cited. Nothing is more important than the BS narratives to raft**ds, even if it hurts UK. Even if they have no clue about what’s actually going on, the narrative comes first. Y’all will even make up silly lies like Mitch Barnhart was forced to start a collective. Sad.
Barnhart was forced, he has Kentucky in a terrible media contract with i heart, and hurt Kentucky intially with nil and still is
Our media rights deal is with JMI and it was 15 years $210 million dollars and responsible for multiple facilities on our campus. More ignorance lies and sheep talking points.
I have explained already, you just ignore and the act like your superior and right, I’m going to choose to believe people with actual connections to Kentucky instead of your clown ass. You are a message board Clown acting like you have sources
You’re a pathetic lowlife liar. You’re a fraud who can’t even back up your lies. Too dumb to think for yourself so you lazily adopt other talking points. You enjoy your pathetic lies, I will enjoy one a of the greatest recruiting classes in college basketball history and the best UK football team on paper since ranking recruits was a thing including the best 2 recruiting classes in UK history which came during the 2 NIL years while you claim NIL is killing us.
Sure wish we could trade classes with Tennessee. I’d gladly give up DJ Wagner, Justin Edwards, Aaron Bradshaw, Rob Dillingham, and Reed Sheppard for Tennessee’s class. We’re stuck with these bums while Tennessee has not only one 4 star recruit, they have two and even have a 3 star recruit while we have no 4 stars and no 3 stars. It’s pretty eye opening the difference in NIL and it’s effects.
Tennessee AD supports NIL was my point, our never really has been fully on board, and even with the class Tennessee has made it further than Kentucky the last 3 tournaments
Tennessee made it further in the tournament because of NIL? Seriously? If Tennessee’s AD is fully on board and ours isn't why aren’t they getting better players while we signed a historically great class? Something isn’t adding up.
Where in that statement did I say NIL was the reason Tennessee made it further in the tourney, I said Tennessee made further in the tourney in your response to saying Kentucky has a good recruiting class.
Why on Earth did you bring up Tennessee making it further in the tournament then?
Yup, definitely want to emulate Tennessee trash, one of the dirtiest programs in the country.
Coaches can go anywhere they want.
You might want to reconsider this statement as the ncaa continues to visit ut…. Again.
At the time Tennessee was seen as one of the front runners for NIL. It’s a bad take now but they were killing it in NIL
