What's worse is the staff didn't cheat, the were unaware of the work not being done.
UK Football on Probation/Vacates Wins From 2021 Employment Issues
- Thread starter ThunderMash
- Start date
What burns me up is we have recruits demanding $5000 payments to show up on an official visit and high school QBs getting 7 figure signing bonuses, and they find some guys that got paid for not working and want to nail the school for it. While all of that may be within the rules, it just seems to me the football world is in tilt sometimes.

I can just imagine some SEC schools are just laughing at UK and shaking their heads.
Kids having bidding wars between schools is fine and dandy, but having cookouts and getting paid slightly more than should is no bueno.
Seems bizarre this is a thing still at this point. I guess technically this occurred right before NIL floodgates opened? Still seems harsh.
The NCAA in its dying breath screws UK yet again. But it wasn't just them. It was mostly our resident jellyfish, Eli and Mitch.
I'm sure if we listened closely we could hear the chanting "Thank you mistress, may I have another?" Lord knows they were probably holding hands to comfort each other.

Meanwhile, Alabama gets away with murder and the NCAA doesn’t touch them.
The guys on here who root for them despite this is crazy.

It's crazy what the NCAA has pretended and acted to care about for it's entire existance.
They could of really nailed the big fish but they care about the small fry

Should have sued and called it retroactive NIL. NCAA won’t even be around in 10 years, why lay down and be a bitch?
Why not just prosecute the young adults who took money under false pretenses and let UK go. I guess that just makes too much sense .
Yes. And it’s not like they’ve been 4th Qtr 2nd string letdowns either. It’s frustrating.
Let’s not give the Avila credit for getting away with bad behavior. Screw them.
I don’t believe so but their issue wasn’t tied to any personnel that was a part of games. When Mumme took the world by storm with his new style of play it was with curry leftovers and then his recruits tended to be under recruited and not terribly athletic initially. It was at the end of his tenure when they started getting a few commitments from that next level guy. Blizzard etc. But that infamous $1400 wasn’t connected to anyone that played in games that had been declared ineligible.
Things went south on its own due to him going with a turnover prone freshman in Lorenzen and then the investigation of the violation made the situation totally fall apart.
For all the disparaging of Mumme that we’ve done, especially the statue for stoops guys these days, he finished with at least a .500 conference record in 2 of 4 seasons. He only played a schedule with 1 non P5 non-con game. Losing these games puts stoops at 3 of 11 seasons .500 or better in sec…. 2016-2018.
I hear ya....but there were a lot of people at UK health that knew. People were pissed about it then.

It’s their job to know these things. Can’t plead ignorance on this one! Sounds like it was well known by a lot of people, coaches just looked the other way.
So essentially this is worse than what the mumme staff did. Did anyone get the real number of wins vacated? Was it 1 season? I'm hearing it may be 2 or 3 seasons.
IIRC, the violations occurred after NIL became effective: Levis and Wandale had good NIL deals for 2021, all arraigned well prior to the 2021 season.
Had the fake jobs just put a photo of the athletes up, and used that as advertising, they could have paid them tons for the NIL.
