Nothing wrong with UK telling em to stop using their logo and ****. What’s the issue? Not like they say to stop saying “Kentucky” or “UK”. It’s just “stop using our logo”.
What’s the problem?

This is pretty basic and common stuff. There are licensing agreements, sponsorships etc. that need to be protected. Every program does this.
why don't you come out of your safe place snow flake.
KSR has been guilty of daring to criticize John Calipari's coaching.
The Cal Cancel Culture is eating one of their very own woke entities.
This is what eventually happens to every society that makes the mistake of trying to silence their critics.
It never ends well.......for anyone.
Greenwood High School in Bowling Green uses pretty much the same logo.It doesn't take much difference to get by copyright laws with logos. It only needs a slight change and it's no longer the UK logo.
Edit: They should put a checkerboard in the middle instead of solid blue. Or they could use my avatar, the color fade and skewed edges are different enough for the laws.
And uk is equally aggressive. Everything from tshirts to suing ky mist (small moonshine distillery in whitesburg) not long ago over their combination of kentucky with a blue background
Jones kept pushing the boundaries, then pushed too far. He knows better he's just whining hoping for special treatment.
Rules for thee but not for me. Just like he wanted it when he mulled a congressional run. No surprise.
Yes, I thought it was awful and very uncomfortable with Matt, Drew and Ryan calling Cal a Liar on Air! I would never say that about a “friend” of mine!
This is exactly right. And it's not like you have to use the logo to get people to show up/listen. Once you attach the logo it is like UK is sponsoring what you're doing. Matt, while generally annoying, isn't dumb, he knows all of this.
Of course after Jones' pal Peevy accepted another job, the uk basketball gravy train stopped. So did the info, which is why he really has no idea about anything basketball related. Still good football info though.
didnt he get banned for like 25 years?
I think there have been others to get banned too.
I don't recall ever seeing them use the UK logo outright. But if they are they sure as heck know better.
I hate bullies. UK and JMI biting a hand that helps promote them. Big money trying to stop the little guys.
Mitch lucked out with UK getting a part of the huge SEC tv contract because he sure can’t market. The no beer sales outside the Corp suites is another example of the regular guy bias. Ticket prices through the roof. It’s already tough going and here’s a local restaurant being threatened.
We have recruits committing in KSR and outside media and our coaches in their place several fundraisers. Watch parties. C’mon Mitch get out of the country club mindset and live and let live.
Just plain bullying.

When you think about it, Matt wasn't invited to this UK table where he dines and gets the $$ that he gets. They let him come in, and sit down. Now , if you come into my house without me asking you and you sit down to eat at my table, and I dont say a word, please be considerate that you are a guest. I think Matt has forgotten his place in the order that things are to be done at the great UK.
He wrote his book taking shots at Mitch, He sold the KSR website to make some money, and has been complaining about Cal to the Big Blue Nation, not saying any of this is wrong. But, then he went after the horse business , about the gambling and calling all the Reps up. He has that right, and once again, not saying he is wrong in this.
But he needs to remember that when you start throwing **** at my table, i might throw it back, so be ready.
JMO.
Jones likes to trot out his Duke Lawyer pants status in order to give himself a cloak of intellectual superiority. He must have slept during the classes where they explained stealing intellectual property or trademark infringement. If you do not assert your rights you can lose them. Jones is just trying to take something for free that I am sure he could actually pay for its use. I suppose crying like a little beotch is how he is approaching this.
I think it’s wonderful (-:
You sound super triggered and oUtRagEd tho lol. Which is fun to see if nothing else.
Georgia asked the packers for permisjson to use their logo way back.It doesn't take much difference to get by copyright laws with logos. It only needs a slight change and it's no longer the UK logo.
Edit: They should put a checkerboard in the middle instead of solid blue. Or they could use my avatar, the color fade and skewed edges are different enough for the laws.
Lots of high schools just use NFL logos recolored to their schools colors. Monroe county uses the atlants hawks logo.
So Matt was using UK's logo during game coverage.
You know what this really is right?
The Masters have laid down the law and Matt better learn WHO rules the Galaxy!
I keep trying to warn you people but all you do is laugh. Matt isn't laughing now.
Once again, you're being watched. Quit clowning around!

Since I hate MJ it doesn’t bother me at all. Do I really care about this issue? Not really.
I think it's a petty and unnecessary move by JMI/UK. Having said that, Matt and KSR shouldn't be all that surprised to see some blowback. They've been extremely critical on the radio show of both Cal and Mitch (not saying it has been without merit, just stating facts). I'm guessing UK also wasn't thrilled about KSBar running a special based on how many points the basketball team lost by.
Ultimately, I don’t see how this really affects KSBar's bottom line or anything. Are people really going to not show up because the official UK logo isn't on the advertisements? No.
I did find MJ's pity party tweet storm to be pretty amusing. Very reminiscent of a politician whipping his base into a frenzy and paint UK as the bad guy.

I see your point, but most business dont mind folks profiting off of them as long as they are promoting them. Think those folks are called "sales reps".
Lawyers get paid large sums of money to protect Corporate rights. JMI Sports will follow the lawyers recommendation completely because they understand the lawyers protect their investments. They could care less what anyone at UK, KSR or anyone else thinks.
Lol noone heard of uk sports before Jones?
Uk had just as much pub before Jones. Jones just consolidated what used to be 3 or 4 voices. Oscar combs deserves way more respect than jones.
Only thing I can think of is schools like UK and others receive royalties off officially licensed merchandise. So when someone like Matt or some other vendor starts selling their own UK stuff...not only is it not officially licensed but it also technically takes money away from the school because they aren't getting royalties off it.
But agree...kind of a jackass move all the way around. It's not like UK doesn't have enough money....but I guess they are trying to reign in non-licensed folks?

Rules are rules. Just the way it goes. Sometimes you have to set “vendors” (media in this case) straight. As Bobby Knight once said, “We all learned to write in the 3rd grade. Some of us moved on to bigger and better things.”
If you listen to him, you will realize he would be/is a terrible lawyer
instead of whining, get on the hipand pay copyright fee. If I sold a UK tee shirts I would have to get permission. What makes him different
