After getting demolished by the defending back-to-back champion Georgia Bulldogs on Saturday, Kentucky head coach Mark Stoops was blunt about the money in his program.
Certain schools have a clear advantage in the NIL game, one that college football seemed to insinuate this week. Kentucky head coach Mark Stoops was pretty blunt after his Wildcats were rocked by No. 1 Georgia over the weekend, saying Georgia's pockets have helped them in recruiting. In his weekly radio show on Monday, Stoops was talking with an upset fan while discussing their 51-13 loss to the Bulldogs when Stoops seemed to take a shot at the Georgia program – and his own fan base.
just encourage them to donate more because that’s what those dudes are doing. I can promise you, Georgia, they bought some pretty good players. You’re allowed to these days,' Stoops said. 'We could use some help,' he continued. 'That’s what they look like, you know what I mean, when you have 85 of them. I encourage anybody that’s disgruntled to pony up some more.
Really, just simply trying to rally people and in a way to move the needle,' he said. 'Listen, I didn’t ask for this. didn’t ask for this. It’s the way of the world. And you want to move the needle, that’s one way to do it.' Smart was made aware of the comments, but he said they were 'much to do about nothing' and understood Stoops' point of view.
