First they need to have a discussion with pope. He needs to go and I feel he will walk away if we have former players be direct with him. Simultaneous though we need to build the heat to get rid of not only Barnhart but his assistants as well. Just like when you fire a coach the new coach brings in who they want. We need the former players and fans to fight this fight to remove Mitch Barnhart. There needs to be a concerted campaign to put him out to pasture in Kansas or wherever he came from. This has to happen. There is too much pride in UK sports to allow Mitch Barnhart to make it in his image. He needs to be gone fast and it will likely require the president too: the BOT should move to clean house.
if everyone continues to kiss Barney’s asss that’s a non starter. The guy believes uk athletics belongs to him. The fact that the swim coach was sexually abusing his players, raping one under Barney’s nose should have taken him out. There is no doubt he would have caught wind of what was happening. It will all come out in court and when he’s still at the helm UK will be raked over the coals.
I’m sickened that Kentuckians have been duped into accepting this trash AD for a quarter century. Do you all hear that! 25 years! Barney is aiming to break the record for longest all time serving AD. That’s why he won’t leave. It makes me sick that UK fans would run a bill curry out of town but leave this awful AD in place. Where is Matt to stand up to build an army for the fans to take Uk athletics back? We need two strong Kentuckians one to run the school and the other the athletics department. We should never hire alum unless they are the best in the business to coach at UK but the AD and prez should be Kentuckians. If pope doesn’t walk away from this job I’m gonna consider him complicit with Barney and imo he is against bbn.
Everyone thought cal would be the civil war. Nope it’s going to get this corrupt AD out of Lexington. He has too much power for too long and thinks he is above reproach. Kentuckians need to put the pressure on this guy. He needs to know he’s not wanted in Lex. Email the university the governor. If you have money take out billboards. Get the media to cover this movement. You see Barney in public let him know how much damage he’s done and he needs to go. This man is not a Kentuckian. This is an outsider who has used his job to consolidate power for him the prez and the yes men who follow him. Kentuckians initially liked him bc he made money. The man has made his $$$$ off UK doing what suits his interests not what suits bbns. That is the problem with hiring a guy who is a non fan in the AD. There is zero trust when things go side ways. This guy has no accountability. He does what he wants and we accept it. Come on BBN !!!quit complaining about JMI and let’s work to clean house !!
