Kentucky awards bowl season rings to football team

Go to a bowl. Get some bling.

Tuesday morning, the University of Kentucky unveiled the rings it awarded to each football player for the 2016-17 season. They include a nod to UK’s TaxSlayer Bowl appearance, and, perhaps more significantly, its win over Louisville in the Governor’s Cup.

Kentucky posted a photo on Twitter of what looks to be Coach Mark Stoops’ ring. A top-down view shows the UK logo in white stones embedded in a large blue stone with KENTUCKY on one side and FOOTBALL on the other.

One panel has Stoops’ name and position, “COACH,” along with the TaxSlayer Bowl logo.
