A
local bootlegger who shall remain nameless has just told me that he has
it on good authority, presumably the wholesaler from whom he purchases
his products, that the Kentucky Bourbon Distillers Association had made
an enticing offer to Mitch Barnhart and the UK Athletic Department regarding whom they should hire for their head coach vacancy.
According to my source, the association had offered to provide
$10Million a year in salary, $10Million a year in NIL money with related
advertising jobs featuring UK players, and an unlimited annual
supply of various of their libations if the university would hire either former West Virginia coach Bob Huggins or former Kentucky coach
Billy Gillespie under a 5 year no fire contract. My source said that
his source, apparently an official of the association, had also told him
that the idea for this intriguing offer had come to him when he was
visited in a dream by the ghost of former Kentucky coach Eddie Sutton
who had detailed the plan in detail over cocktails in the dream which
took place in the Saratoga.
