Once again, after proclaiming how much it wants and needs
the support of the Big Blue Nation, UK has acted to scorn them…needlessly.
I am not privy to those negotiations, but why in the world
would UK give away rights to let local TV stations (and others thru out the
Commonwealth) carry Big Blue Madness???
Now remember, I worked 15 years for channel 27, but I write
as a UK fan…I know UK had to give the rights to its sports games away to
establish the SEC network, but the Madness is not a game. Sure, SEC and ESPN
would love to have those rights...we are the Notre Dame of college basketball, but..in
doing so, UK acted against the best interest of its fans..forcing them, in many
cases, to pay to see the Madness they once got for free.
Makes no sense to this fan, and I hope members of the BBN
will let UK’s Athletic Director, Mitch Barnhart know their fury..maybe, maybe next year will be different. It
should be.
BTW, aren’t we all proud of the UK Football Cats? Not
only did they play a great game against #1 last week..but, a fact glossed over
by many, both UK and Miss State played with very, very few penalties..something
you don’t ordinarily see in such a hard fought game.
Congrats to all the football Cats, too!
I'm just sayin'...
