Barnhart may come out looking like a genius in hindsight.
Or, more likely, he’ll look like a fool for sacrificing a basketball recruiting advantage. UK had led basketball attendance for 21 of the past 22 seasons. Now Rupp has fewer seats than the chicken bucket at UL, the TBA at UT and the Smith Dome at UNC. I seriously thought there would be an uprising by the 3,000 fans who lost their seats in Rupp. It’s hard to believe, and even harder to accept I suppose, the sea change that’s happening in college sports.

What the hell does the attendance capacity at Rupp matter if we dont ever schedule anyone worth a frick for home and home? Not to mention how absurd the roster turnover is. Couldnt possibly care fricking less about basketball at this point. Its a joke.
Take a look around this very board. Do you see anyone else whining about basketball? Wake up

You think 3,000 seats in the home venue is going to make or break a recruit's decision? I seriously doubt any incoming recruit knows the capacity of Rupp at all, let alone splitting hairs on how it compares to UL and UNC by a few seats, when they're all basically the same size. This is an absurd thing to get mad about.
