Todd and Barnhart call 1:30 press conference

by:Thomas Beisner02/09/11
With everyone looking at that glass as half-full again this morning, the UK administration will look to capitalize on that excitement and "discuss the status of Barnhart's contract" at a 1:30 press conference.  As Matt reported earlier this week, it is believed that the meeting is to announce a new contract for the athletic director.  The timing of the announcement seems a bit odd, considering Lee Todd's status as a lame duck, but it's widely known how highly the president thinks of his AD.  Hopefully, his successor feels the same way.  Looks like he's not going to have a choice. You have to wonder if an extension for Calipari, which Barnhart spoke of pulicly in May, is the next order of business.
