Every fan at every successful P5 school believes their fan base is 1 of the best. I don't know how such a thing can be measured. But in our case, the best indicator I know would be that we travel very well in support of our teams. Of course, we aren't alone in that way.I think the fan base in Kentucky is one of the best in the nation. Just take a look. We have very few winning seasons. No coach has a winning record in football since Coach Bear Bryant, and probably 70 to 80% of the fans were not even alive then, so they have never seen a coach with a winning record at UK in their lifetime. A lot of us older fans continue to support UK, not with just our talk, but with donations and attendance. It's easy to criticize us when we say something about a coach, that you disagree with, but most of us old guys belong to the K Fund and support the University we love. All we want is a winning football team, not just 6 wins and a bowl bid. We could care less who the coach is, just WIN. We're not against Coach Stoops if he wins. If he doesn't, get him out and bring someone else in as Head Coach. It's not personal, we just want to WIN.

....the Florida game.....if we had only won that....we lost a lot of fans losing that game....*sigh*.....I'm surprised to see us that high but glad. Almost every home game there
was always empty seats. I think we all want the program to move up but I
would like to see a full house at home.

UofL was rated the school with the highest fanbase STD rate, nice consolation prize for you guys.Just saw this!
Yeah, I suppose there are ways to put a quantitative number on it. But it would take some dedicated research and some front end "rules". Maybe more than what a sports website might want to expend, since it may well get into FOIA requests and such. Most schools are kinda slippery about ticket sales numbers.
In the big picture I don't think anything says more about being a fan than coming to the game. So I would think fan base support would probably begin with home field sellouts and actual attendance as a % of actual capacity.
As for football, I think NE sits at the top of that list (at least they did through 2016).
Peace
Your opinion and I respect that. I'm thinking everybody wants to be better but recruits see our crowd and stadium with empty seats, could be a turn-off to them. At least they recognize the opportunity to come play early!
The Florida game has been beat to death. Two touchdowns given to Florida and a holding call when our running back was already eight yards down the field. I've watched UK since the 60's.
I mentioned on the Rafters that our football fans were among the most loyal in the SEC and got ranUK football fans are the best considering the product on the field over the years. Less return on investment than most other P5 schools. Only IU, Kansas, Duke, Iowa St., and a few others have worse results over the past 50-60 years.
