I think Leach is probably tight with Barney. Doubt it’s a hard hitting interview. Barney just needs to go.
Wonder what topics Leach is permitted to ask?
I'm assuming some real hard-hitting, David Frost questions:
Mitch, without stepping on any toes:
1.) What is your favorite color of the rainbow?
2.) Chocolate, vanilla, or swirl?
3.) What is your favorite book of the Bible?
4.) Yanny or laurel?
5.) Does cilantro taste like soap?
and the biggest question
6.) 6 or 7?
You forgot to bring up asking about women's volleyball team.
Well this at least indicates Barnhart understands the fan’s angers.
However, this is like Russian State Media interviewing Putin.
“your greatness Vladimir can you explain why invading Ukraine was the only option to protect the motherland?”

Does Pope’s nose fit snugly in your rear?
Mitch is going to miss part of the Women’s volleyball game going on at memorial during this time.
Someone must be in his goofy big ears.

Alan Cutler said it best a short while ago on X: "Being in the UK Network is NOT an interview."
It’s propaganda: this guy has run UK athletics for 25 years. He’s a master at deception and evidently does not care for accountability.
Exactly. And we're simpleton Rubes that wouldn't understand if it was explained to us.

I’m sure the hard hitting questions will come on that show! Let me know when he gets interviewed by someone not employed by or dependent on the university for a job or funding.
This is how Mitch operates, on a show that’s friendly that nobody is listening to… this has been his go to move for 20 years when he has any kind of heat. This is the definition of weak sauce. And this is why we are never proactive with anything.. UK threatens the media like no other it’s almost state run media in Lexington….
North Korean state television asks harder hitting questions than what you’ll hear in this interview.
“Everything is fine, UK is great, JMI is an innovator; how about volleyball and the new football coach?!!!”
“Everything is fine, UK is great, JMI is an innovator; how about volleyball and the new football coach?!!!”
If he says it’s all lies and everybody is a liar, it will tell us something about his online identity.
Leach doesn't have much choice if he wants to keep his job...
@theKybluedude I guess we better listen to this. Mitch is closer than anyone and Leach knows more than all of us! Right?
Do you see how crazy it is to listen to men whose access depends on fluffing up those in charge?
You seem like a nice person so don’t get me wrong, I’m sure you are. But this kind of stuff is understood. You will get no truth out of these conversations. It’s essentially state television.

“We aren’t going to break unenforced rules Tom! We’re not doing that”
still amazing no media person ever asked, what is the rule and what happens if you break it?
Our media sucks. Totally bought and paid for by the men in charge.
“Athletes can go do their own things with their own reps we don’t stop that. They can go and do deals anywhere, they can’t use our marks, but they can go anywhere.”
“Is it more restrictive here than elsewhere for the NIL?”
“ we want them to work with our partners first”
“ we want them to work with our partners first”
“we need to protect our partners JMI first.”
Wonder what topics Leach is permitted to ask?
Got to toe the company line so you know there won’t be no hard asked questions.
And no, this is not how it worked with the rest of the SEC. The JMI deal is killing our recruiting. They want these players to give their rights away and nowhere else is doing that. Mitch is also lying about how much this is affecting our programs.
Get this guy out of here.
Get this guy out of here.
Need to ask why agents are questioning the verbiage in our nil contracts.
Can anybody do us a solid and give a play by play. I would listen but I am washing my hair.
“We think what works best is working all NIL’s through us”.
No outside collectives. There ya go. And no this isn’t how everyone else is doing it. He’s flat lying

Revenue and the sponsors are the priority. Mitch knows this works for his Dept and the sponsors because fans will watch UK basketball and go to games consistently. The sponsors get eyes on their products even in times of less than ideal team performance. And the revenue keeps on coming. It's all about sponsor relations and a steady revenue stream for UK. He must heavily compensated for profit/loss.
And he always sounds defensive. Always.
And he always sounds defensive. Always.
“Why in the world would we do anything that wouldn’t give us the best chance to win”
well, you’ve never done that anyway Mitch? And you did this for more money. JMI is not a heavy hitter, they paid you more money to sell to them. So guess what? You’ve always been fine with winning to an average level. Getting paid for it was just a cherry on top.
Get this friggin guy the hell away from Kentucky.
He’s also consistently lied throughout this interview. “Everyone does it” no, they don’t. Agents and others have said no they don’t. And you’re hurting the recruiting at UK.
Many have tried to say this is the worse AD in UK history and you’re getting a front row seat to him finally destroying this program. It’s been happening for 20+ years.
Get him OUT.

UK is petty as hell over the 2 letters UK and various names.. They made a distillery in Letcher co stop using name Kentucky in the name,, Kentucky Mist t-shirts.. UK claims the whole word Kentucky as trademark..
That curmudgeon has GOT to go.
In other words, “No you can’t do a Doritos add with LeBron. We have an arrangement with Golden Flake.” And “No you can’t do an ad with Jake from State Farm because we have Kentucky Farm Bureau.”
“We have to sign the house settlement before we know what the rules are”.
There are absolutely no rules and even if they happen to exist, you do it then and there won’t be penalties.
He’s lying. He wants to restrict this to pad the pockets of everyone involved and not take care of this program. He’s flat saying it. This guy is so bad it’s hard to believe he even made it to this level. Hatchet man, he’s just making men around him rich and that makes him rich. The program be damned.

And if you do that, you can’t wear our logos.
We’re not signing anyone except lesser players that don’t have better options.
There you go Mitch fans. Your “greatest AD in UK history” just sinked it all.

He's a beurocrat 100%.
Also wasn't asked about and didn't mention basketball once. Everything is "student athletes."
He just admonished "all the noise out there." Good lord.

“Nobody wants to win more than I do”
Really? You didn’t want to hire Calipari you wanted to hire Mike Brey???? you wanted to retain Joker. You hired pope after making serious runs at winners.
Winning wasn’t even something you were interested in BEFORE NIL, sure as hell aren’t interested in it now that you’ve been given half a BILLION dollars without having to perform.
Fans don’t matter now they’ve got major revenue streams and this guy is a fraud and a liar.

You don’t know what the rules are because THERE ARE NO RULES!
That guy doesn't have one ounce of competitiveness.
I'm just guessing that "Mist" was the problem, perhaps could be interpreted as a reference to "Blue Mist" which generally means UK fans. But the distillery probably didn't want to spend the money to fight it; I'm sure they'd have won in court.
He’s never been a competitor at all. I see him at games all the time, he’s so intense like he’s really wanting the win more than anyone. I mean he’s zones in and just acting like it’s a championship.
I zone out thinking damn Mitch is kind of in this. Then I remember, we’re down 4 to mississippi state, no shot at a title, a final four, an SEC title. Yet he’s over there like there’s 29 seconds left up 2 during a title game.
The guy is a joke. He celebrated all over their field beating a coachless auburn team while he’s got a 3-9 record. He’s trying to lower standards here. Get him out.
