This would be big for UK, but it looks like the school won't confirm it...for now.
Anytime Kentucky football can get a national audience, it's a win for Mark Stoops and his program.
When you're a program on the rise, any kind of primetime game is a big win, but it's an even bigger when it comes on a day where there aren't many other college games on.
