A better question would be: Where would the SEC be without Alabama football and Kentucky basketball?
Just another run of the mill middling conference.
I think we'd survive.

Plus, Kentucky has traditionally focused on high school basketball. Heck, when I grew up in the 70s and 80s many high schools didn't even offer football as a sport. Few elite recruits came from Kentucky outside of Louisville. This has slowly changed with high school basketball in decline and football more popular.
One example: the 10th region high school regional is played in Maysville's gym which seats over 5000. In the 70s, 80s and 90s every game in the tournament sold out every year. Not sure about now because I don't go anymore. Football? Most of the schools had no team at that time, even the larger high schools like Mason county who probably had 700-800 students. Kentucky is just a different culture than the Deep South.
