  1. The UK Louisville football series has never benefitted UK and was started by a basketball coach athletics director that didn't care about building a football program. There's very little in state football talent and no one outside the state cares about the game.
  2. Research funding has nothing to do with athletics or athletics conferences. UC-San Francisco is in the top 3 of research funding every year and they have never had any sports.
  3. Maryland is a basketball school that was in a great basketball conference and they only moved because their athletics department was in terrible financial shape. They had a lot of classic games against Duke and UNC and that's gone.
  4. Stanford has the resources to be independent in football but Cal has a large stadium debt to repay and they are not in the position to be snobbish.
  5. Bobby Bowden openly said he didn't want the SEC schedule and it's not surprising Clemson feels the same way.
  6. Aaron Rogers and some other former Cal players have talked about the hostility they have gotten from professors. Cal's administration allows some professors to do whatever they can to sabotage football. You would think Cal would look at a peer school like Michigan and see how a winning program helps the school but they don't care.
  7. When Stoops was hired UK made overdue improvements to the facilities and increased coaching salaries. He has won 3 of the last 5 against Florida. When he arrived UK had lost 25 times in a row against Florida and most of those games were massacres. The only coach that has done better here is Bear Bryant. The boast is purely about recruiting. In the past other football coaches would recruit against Kentucky by saying we only cared about basketball and that unfortunately was true until Stoops arrived and got UK to invest in football.
