Mark Stoops on NIL gap: Georgia 'bought some pretty good players'​

Kentucky coach Mark Stoops publicly pleaded for more financial support for his program after the Wildcats' 51-13 loss to Georgia on Saturday, putting a spotlight on the NIL difference between his team's players and those on the No. 1 Bulldogs.

"I can promise you -- Georgia, they bought some pretty good players," Stoops said Monday in response to an upset fan on his weekly radio show. "You're allowed to these days, and we could use some help. That's what they look like, you know what I mean, when you have 85 of 'em. I encourage anybody that's disgruntled to pony up some more."

Asked about what Stoops had to say after Georgia practice Tuesday, Bulldogs coach Kirby Smart wasn't looking to engage in any verbal sparring.

"No reaction. It's much to do about nothing," Smart told reporters. "I think Mark is trying to garner interest for money from his fan base for his collective, and we're all trying to do the same in terms of trying to get money for the collective. Mark and I talked about NIL pregame, and we talked about it in our meeting. I'm not biting on that."

Stoops' comments had echoes of Alabama's Nick Saban saying last year that Texas A&M "bought every player on their team" -- a comment that spurred a back-and-forth between Saban and Aggies coach Jimbo Fisher that ran all the way until a narrow Crimson Tide victory that October.

Stoops attempted to clarify his comments Wednesday, saying he loves Kentucky fans and was "taken completely out of context."

We call that move a “Turkey Jones.”

Kentucky given 2 years probation in football infractions case​

Kentucky and the NCAA reached a settlement Friday over infractions that included 11 football players getting paid for work they did not perform in 2021 and '22.

The negotiated resolution said the school agreed with the NCAA Committee on Infractions that some football players received impermissible benefits and that rules violations took place in the school's swimming program.

Kentucky agreed to spend two years on probation, pay an undisclosed fine and vacate records of any games in which ineligible football players competed.

Of the 11 players paid for not working, eight played and received "actual and necessary expenses while ineligible."

The school and the NCAA agreed that no member of the athletic department knew or should have "reasonably" known about the no-show jobs.

Just sayin': This is to show how slow the NCAA works on rule violations. This is relatively simple case compared to "scUM Spygate" and it took (what appears to be) well over a year to finally "resolve".

What happens when we increase the violations.... to say.... illegal scouting and filming future opponents? And, let's say.... stay with me here.... let's say it's pretty obvious that the coaches knew it was going on?
I know we shouldn't compare one case with another, but if the NCAA does this to Kentucky, and let's a certain group of other cheaters skate, I might just poop in my neighbor's shoes. And I don't want to have to do that - I like my neighbor.
