Kentucky spent 800K on bball trip to Bahamas

I don't understand what the big deal if, someone has the money, they want to spend it, then let them. It's a free country.

Nope. Obama.

i dont have a problem with the players getting to taste some of the fruits of their labors, but how is dis legal?
it aint an even playing field at this point. if UK is allowed to do this, other schools should be allowed to pay their players too.
and this is definitely a form of payment. #loophole

Even playing field?? lmao
No, it's not an even playing field. We have a LOT of ****ing money.
However, it's not an NCAA violation.

Write your congressman. Who knows, Texans are known to kick ***.

I don't feel the need to defend this, at all. In fact, I think it's awesome. But what the article fails to mention (even though the writer was told), is that the money also covered the travel, food, and lodging of all other teams from France, Dominican Republic, etc.. otherwise, UK couldn't get quality professional teams to play against .. as they wouldn't spend their own money to fly to the Bahamas to get beat by a college team on national television.

Read much?

Yeah, can he not downgrade a bit for the good of the education system?

If we were to look at how much money Cal brings into UK vs. how much of UK budget he spends, then it would be quite obvious how much the dude is downgrading to begin with, and how much their education system is benefitting because of him.

and, fwiw, we have more kids graduating after leaving for the NBA than any other team, ever. Cal makes them pinky swear they'll get a degree before they sign to come to UK as a projected one and done. Laugh, make fun, but Cal is awesome at making these kids understand they need an education, to understand money and finances, and be able to make wise decisions in life, even if they are multi-millionaire pro players.

It mentioned having to pay for the other teams' travel, lodging and expenses in the article.
