UK Athletics Returns Fire

Responding to a L-H-L story suggesting that the athletics department at UK was awash in funds and failing to match other SEC programs in offering support to their overall university funding the UK Athletics blog Catscratches offered a rather thorough rebuttal pointing out, for one thing, that UK is one of only 13 NCAA athletic departments that is self-sufficient. Pointedly the report made a comparison to University of Louisville, no doubt hoping to influence future facility needs.

As an alumnus and financial supporter I found the rejoinder interesting, justified and, yes, rewarding.
