Just when you think you’ve seen it all, you see something new.
In all my many years following and covering University of Kentucky athletics, I’ve never seen a press conference quite like the press conference that was held Saturday at Kroger Field. But then I don’t think we’ve ever seen a situation quite like the one happening now in UK athletics. Unprecedented is an overused term these days, but this is unprecedented.
Background: While publicly lobbying for a new practice facility, UK head coach John Calipari declared Kentucky a basketball school. That brought public pushback from UK football coach Mark Stoops, who tweeted, “Basketball school? I thought we competed in the SEC. #4straightpostseasonwins.”
