Auburn, Alabama, and Tennessee caring about basketball has hurt Kentucky
Tennessee has always cared about basketball but we went through a series of bad coaches prior to Pearl. That said, the real problem isn't the rest of the conference imo. The problem is UK is divided between football and basketball. And don't think for a minute that just because they've been wildly successful at basketball that their football fans have no say.
Look at what happened this past off-season. Cal and Stoops in a pissing contest and what's worse Stoops feeling that making UK mediocre in football (with a few good seasons) is somehow remotely close to winning titles in basketball. And what's more UK didn't clamp anyone down in that fight - the AD let it go on when they should've shut all public discussion down. And if they had to choose, they should've taken the side of the successful program that's been paying the bills for eons.
That fight playing out that way only makes sense at a football school.

The fan base and the AD expect Kentucky to be good at basketball but the fan base and I suspect the AD desperately want us to be a football school. Most Kentucky fans were upset with Cal’s comments because we want to believe we are becoming relevant in football. I think the AD knew that and probably hoped it was true.
