You know how many times I have heard that in the last fifty years? This time is no different. The culture in Lexington will not change. Basketball is year around. Even with the "upgrade" of the stadium (designed for the wealthy) it's not going to help. Most SEC stadiums are still much better. And the climate in most of those destinations is all football. UK will get back to six, seven wins...an upset here and there and a banjo bowl. And the fans will think that is great. UK still has to out recruit Alabama, LSU, Texas A&M, South Carolina, Florida, Ole Miss, Georgia...even Vandy and Missouri to be competitive. Not going to happen. UK wants to drop U of L from the schedule. If the SEC goes to a nine conference game schedule...it could be brutal every year. That only leaves a couple of openings for some cupcakes. UK should join the ACC. It would be an easier schedule...of course UK wouldn't dominate in basketball every year...but better than getting your ass kicked every year in football.
