I couldn't care less about the walk-ons. They aren't owed anything. They were let on the team to help with practice, and knew that their situations could change at any moment.

They were let go to allow practices to be more productive, as Cal mentioned in his statement. These walk-ons did not have the size, speed, or skill level to be any help in a game or practice, so they were let go. It's Cal's team, and he did what he thought was best for the team as a whole.

This is rather shortsighted and ignorant to what every college program in the country does. Your line of thinking goes completely against what you just iterated. Walk-on's are owed nothing, yet walk-ons make it due to work-ethic, decication and pride. 99% of walk-ons get it! They appreciate what they have earned. They epitome the American worker who puts in his hard work and is rewarded with the opportunity to come back and work another day. It's a shame you have no clue what the walk-on exerience is all about! It's more than just the athlete! Just goofy!

They are the one's who you should be proud of to wear the UK colors, but instead you get off on the glory of a guy who comes in, plays one year, and could have cared less about the University of Kentucky Wildcat program. Those guys are rented athletes, that have no desire at all to be considered "Student Athlete". The Walk-on is the guy who is cheered loudest by the students and the fans, why, because they represent the REAL World. Sorry, but it looks like those who have the same ideology as the above post, just don't get!
