Mitch cost us two years with the hiring of Gillispe. Another four years or so at the tail end of Cal's tenure. Add three more years for his incredibly poor decision to hire Pope. That's nine years, fellow fans. Nine years of mediocrity that we will never get back. The only thing worse is the fact that Mitch will suffer no consequences. On the contrary, he will be rewarded with a post-retirement deal of almost one million per year. Shameful.
What our Ad cost us...
- Thread starter CatBlueBlood
- Start date
Unfortunately ... you're exactly right. Follow the money.
You haven't even considered his negligence with football, scandals, and the JMI partnership.
Hiring Joker, Stoops crazy buyout, swimming r@pe controversy, JMI long term deal.
Worst AD ever!!!!!!
We had an AD that really didn't care about winning. All those long contracts were designed to make life easy for him.
Kentucky scheme comes to an end :
- give contracts to incompetent coaches and administration saying that money is from Athletics dept budget or private donors.
- they spent money like there is no tomorrow on private jets and bonuses and retirement gigs or made up positions after retirement…
- sign NIl managing contracts where there is conflict of interest and for unreasonable period of time which smells of corruption.
- spent money on capital projects unnecessary based the consultancy of the same AD that last year put the athletics department in deficit both on ordinary expense ( salary, and regular expenses) and capital projects to the point that Athletic department needs to barrow money from the university fund , which comes from tuition and Commonwealth appreciation ..
the same incompetence was shown by the president and AD handling the Relationship over the years with HOF coach John Calipari., who finally left without costing the university a penny…..they didnt appreciate in their corrupt arrogance the gift given to the university and BBN by Calipari and hired who they hired….
this Is the same university that mistreated Rupp……I guess it’s expected to mistreat John Calipari and the whole fan base with incredible expensive tickets and horrible decisions year after year To the point that BBN is not even showing up to the games

A quarter century. Let that soak in. He has tended to the first quarter of this century. It’s insanity and only an Oklahoma ad had more time. Something compare their wiki pages. The guy is the biggest loser ever soaked in his own accolades and a massive golden parachute.
If we don't unload Capilouto and wriggle out of this JMI deal soon nine years is gonna start to look like a night at the Radison.
Mitch and Mark demonstrate a proclivity to excel in the ministries. I see Kenneth Copland potential in both of these charlatans......
It’s like he is intentionally torturing us. Because you can’t be that stupid … can you?
Honestly every thread should be about this. Mitch’s fecklessness runs so deep, he should run for office.
Man you missed the almost $100,000,000 he could have cost us had Cal not left on his own, when we have to pay Pope off(BYU $5M to take him) and the Stoops buyout. Then his $4M golden parachute.
I think we are approaching that kind of number.
Mitch was and is an absolute arrogant disaster of a person to serve in any kind of administrative capacity. I've ranted about him too many times to count. Even got f'ing shamed for it on this board. Anyone want to apologize to me? I wouldn't care anyway, you can all eat ****.
This is why I will never give a single penny to NIL, if the university can afford to pay him $950K per year for the rest of his life with many other benefits totaling in the millions, they don’t need my contribution…
It’s all on Eli imo. Barney has been operating with a blank check. Our fan base a certain portion is complicit too. I’ve been screaming Barney is corrupt since he put his name on the sports complex. And the contracts those buyouts aren’t because Barney is an idiot. Once he felt like he made grand slam hires he locked them down with so much many they would just pack it in. You have the prez addressing BBN. Listen you bum just quit. You failed. Barney and Eli were outsiders who came n and stole our programs. They did all kinds of shifty stuff and this is where UK has to bring in administrators who love Kentucky. All trust is gone. They say the next up for prez is another sec none UK guy. Certainly we have uk alum who can perform as well as any of these outsiders. There’s nothing special about Barney or Eli to where we had to get away from those who we know will go to bat because they bleed blue.
