[Black Bear Cuz]

Because of money...UK is towards the bottom of the SEC when it comes to the amount of $$$ they funnel into the football program. Yes they rennovated the stadium, and yes they have decent facilities but not enough to attract the best recruits and coaches.

Basketball is the priority of the University in major sports. Now other programs at UK have seen vast improvements (volleyball, baseball, etc...) but the funds devoted to those programs is small when compared to how much it would take to build a strong football program.

The fact we are at the bottom of the SEC in $$ funneled to the football program is just a big excuse! We choose to be a non player (chicken shit) when it comes to money funneled to football, afraid there may not be enough for the almighty basketball program!! All the while all our neighboring schools (WVU, WKU and Louisville) are building strong football and basketball programs? But I guess we are satisfied with being a big joke and Laughing stock in football because we get to watch a basketball team that starts 4 or 5 freshman each year that are gone the next??
