Return SEC to network TV

I would like someone to explain to me why the SEC Tournament is on a for-pay sports channel. Not every University of Kentucky fan can afford this channel. There has to be a local channel that could have aired these games. Coach John Calipari, just where does this leave your fans? A lot of the games were aired on this channel throughout the season. All I’m asking is for the UK basketball games to go back to being aired on a channel where all fans can watch every game and not be left to see and hear the score only on the news. I have been a big-time, loyal Wildcat fan for years and have had UK tags on my car for many years, which helps support the university.

Please return UK games to a local channel for all fans to watch, cheer and enjoy.
