All the guys who didn't get a free ride for their family or friends. Wonder if they got their SAT taken by someone World Wide Wes lined up for them. Isn't Cal just so special?

I continue to think that UK did NOT THINK THIS OUT and screwed up royally by handling this in this fashion. And as pissed as I am about not being able to pay a reasonable fee to UK to purchase one I am even more pissed that they now turn around and prohibit those individuals who were "given" these posters from selling them. Apparently the only ones connected to these NCAA schools that have any rights are the NCAA and the schools - the athletes that play the games and devote so much of their lives to making up these teams and the fans who make it fiscally possible have NO RIGHTS. My father and then I have had season football tickets for over half a century and pay a premium to get them. I have tired of seeing these universities whose supposed primarily job it is, is to educate our children, instead want to control and funnel all of the $$$ that are generated into their coffers while the players and fans who actually make it possible and pay the bills get ripped.

I'm sure the folks selling have their own print, plus many extra. There was no sign of any posters anywhere near my seats. Other people's greed, while no surprise, makes me sad. UK Athletics and Rupp Arena staff should have foreseen this selfishness, and passed the posters out at the entrance to the game.
