If Kentucky heavily invests in their program, the B1G is gonna shite their clothes. Playing in the SEC is a big draw and that part of the country is beautiful.

In 2016 we built a 45 million dollar football training complex that Florida is actually using a model for their next one. We did a mostly cosmetic refurbish of Commonwealth Stadium in 2015, adding a recruiting room and more luxury boxes (it actually reduced seating capacity) and they're adding more minor improvements for 2018-2019 with chair backs etc. Not quite Tennessee empty the coffers level of spending but its up there on a lot of other programs around the country.

Other programs in the B1G? Yes. They’re missing out on Ohio kids. Kentucky will always have a nearly impossible time getting Ohio kids that Ohio State wants. Penn State is getting in to New Jersey and DelMarVA more like they used to so their presence in Ohio has diminished. Harbaugh inexplicably didn’t pay attention to Ohio nearly as much as he should have early on. That seems to be changing. Ohio has a lot of FBS talent so Kentucky has done a fantastic job of making inroads and Stoops deeply rooted Ohio ties certainly don’t hurt.
