Kentucky Backs Out Of UMass Game
The Kentucky Wildcats basketball team had a game scheduled with UMass but backed out and paid a 50,000 dollar opt out clause in the contract to get out of the game. Travis Ford who now coaches UMass and a former Kentucky player was trying to rebuild his program and a Kentucky game would drw in fans among other things. The game was scheduled by Tubby Smith to help Ford out, but the new adminstration apparently didn’t want to honor it.
It’s a shame that Kentucky would do that to an old Kentucky players and I guess your word means nothing anymore as long as you have the opt out in the contract.
