"C.M. Newton Field" @ Commonwealth Stadium.

C.M. played basketball at Kentucky, then coached both Alabama and Vanderbilt, and then became our athletic director. And while we owe him for what he did as AD he did dick for the football program. Worse this only exacerbates the Kentucky only cares about basketball image because we named the fricking football field after a basketball coach.

The Bear is really the only one who is truly deserving of the honor, though I wouldn't oppose Jerry Claiborne or Rich Brooks getting the honor. Frankly it should have been left the hell alone.

Ok, I honestly had no idea that your football field was named after a basketball coach. That is truly bizarre.
