We are swimming in money

The reality, however, is quite the opposite. Kentucky athletics has access to plenty of money. Potentially swimming in it, Scrooge McDuck style. In an industry where a lot of schools, even at the power conference level, are scrubbing their budgets and pleading for Congress to step in, Kentucky is embracing the “adapt or die” mentality. It wants to be up there with schools like Texas and Ohio State, which already have annual budgets over $300 million.

All of the SEC schools have $$. Even Vandy and Miss State. I don't think there is one athletic department that is hurting.

UK getting bounced in the 2nd round of the only sport they’re relevant in, with all the money they’ve invested in said sport, is almost as funny as hiring Joe Sloan as your new OC.

LSU hasn’t won shite in nearly a decade.
Texas Beefeaters bowl is the most impressive thing lsu has done in the NIL era which is hilarious but not as hilarious as it will be to watch LSU go 8-4 this season with a $60M team and an absolute fagggot as your head coach.

Hahahaha LSU has as many titles as Old Piss in the last 12 months as the Black Bears have in the past 50 years.
Black Bear fans talking about titles to Daddy

That made me laugh. So you're saying that even one of the richest schools in the conference has money?

To be fair…
You would embarrass yourself like he just did if you had to replace your greatest coach of all time after he willingly left you for your Daddy with…Pete Golding

Soak the old donors while they are dying. This "golden goose" will play out eventually but cash infusions in the 100 million+ can be seen on the building expansions going on on campus with donor names on them.

Setzer is swinging the big hammer, and I love it. Withhold till they terminate the golden parachute for mitch and get eli out.
Then go hire an outside AD and I might be happy.
And you do know Eli was begging for cutbacks and additional sources of revenue just this week, right?
