Since hiring Mark Pope, Kentucky’s NIL project has grown significantly.
BBN is in support of Coach Pope.
For the past three months, the men’s basketball program at Kentucky Wildcats has been through a lot.
There were many unknowns for the program going forward after going from one of the most exciting teams in the nation to losing in the opening round and then losing to their longtime head coach leaving to take a job elsewhere. Nevertheless, with additional structure added, that is beginning to alter.
Former UK star Mark Pope, who has previously brought in a number of high-profile transfers, was able to draw Mitch Barnhart and company.
According to KSR’s Matt Jones, a significant contributing factor in this is the team’s NIL effort, which has been flourishing and is evidenced by the $650,000 in yearly pledges made by the general fan base to Club Blue.

Shaun Livingston’s possible legacy of tragedy—sustaining a horrific knee injury early in his career—was eclipsed by his record of achievement (three titles with the Golden State Warriors). It’s an inspiring tale of perseverance in the face of hardship, but it’s also a little too easy. Examining Livingston’s life before the injury and the winding path he took to reach the summit are important factors to consider in order to fully understand his career. Shaun the Clipper, Shaun the Net, and all in between must be kept in mind. We must look through the Prism.
