re: Stoops turned A&M down

It's very important to UK fans that their coach "turned down" any other P5 program.

I don't see it that way. Not at all.

This doesn't mean Kentucky is suddenly a better football program than A&M. Kentucky simply is not. Now, it might mean - maybe - that Mark Stoops and A&M both pulled back from this thing at the 11th hour and realized it wasn't a good fit for either side. If so, that would show a level of maturity and self awareness rarely seen from either coaches or ADs.

I'd like to know two things that I'll never know - what happened at the Kentucky coaches meeting when they got back to Lexington yesterday. And what happened when the AD had to start calling the board of regents about this.
