Kevin Stallings calls out SEC on UK scheduling advantage...

[fishwater99]

Stallings says he's not so upset about the Commodores' situation --
the SEC coaches, after all, signed off on the TV packages -- <span style="font-weight: bold;">but the
fact Kentucky doesn't have any Thursday-Saturday combos for the second
consecutive season. UK also gets to face four SEC opponents on Saturdays
that will be coming off Thursday night games.

“Go figure that one out for me, would you?” Stallings told
reporters. “We all agreed to do it, so if you have one, like we have
one, I’m not going to complain. To not have any and to be able to play
four teams that have to do it to play you ... that’s not right.

I said STFU Kevin. Now that I know what he actually said, I agree completely.

I think it's more of a case of ESPN wanting UK for their Super Tuesday game just about every week. I want to say they played something like 6 Super Tuesdays last year.

They play 5 of their midweek games this year on Tuesdays. They have one on a Wednesday and one on a Thursday. The Thursday is the last midweek of the season, and they play their final game on Sunday, my guess again an ESPN thing there.

I wouldn't shout conspiracy. It's just that UK is the only marketable program in the SEC, so they get the major TV time slots when they come available way more than anyone else.
