BTI's Rants and Ramblings: The Mitch Barnhart Report Card

After the announcement of Mitch Barnhart winning Athletic Director of the year, it seems an appropriate time to release this year's Mitch Barnhart Report Card.  Every year, I update this list with the major sports at UK and how UK did before Barnhart took over as AD and how they have done since.  When this sports season is completed in a few weeks, it will have been 13 complete athletic years for Barnhart.  Below you will see the 13 years prior to Barnhart (if possible) and the 13 years since Barnhart.  I think you will find the results quite interesting.
