You think Kentucky has a better roster than us? Yikes not sure I agree with u

Money given by 1 person does not equal the total amount able to hand out.

So someone donated $10M to be divided evenly between football & basketball?

I'm guessing they're are more football donations in general.

Mark Comer of the RBC said something similar a few weeks ago on Criddle’s show.

Seems like QB, LT, and a high end pass rusher would be worth individual deals

That’s partly because few we’re paying players
