| You ever seen how much UK charges or football tickets? It's crazy. If they are gonna charge a lot then they need to really step their game up. This is a move in the right direction for them. That being said, it's still Kentucky. Gonna need a lot more than some pretty updates to win there. | |

| Good for them. But what happens when you put lipstick on a pig?

Do some research Sherlock. the revenue isn't even close. | |

The only schools that have basketball paying the bills are ones that don't have football programs worth mentioning.

| What was Ky's stated attendance vs. actual attendance this year? Someone posted those figures in one of the threads. Ky lost out on a lot of concession sales because the stadium was practically empty for the last two games, but their ticket sales was higher. No one just showed up. | |

No one just showed up. | One should go back and look at the revenue during the Brooks tenure, especially during the string of straight bowl games. That is a better picture of the revenue KY football can potentially generate. | |
