Kentucky’s Barnhart sends strongly worded letter to Pac-12 about Music City Bowl officiating issues | Lexington Herald Leader

Kentucky’s athletics director didn’t just take to social media to voice his frustration about the officiating during the Music City Bowl two weeks ago, he also sent an official letter to the Pac-12 Conference.

“We feel great disappointment that what was supposed to be a quality bowl experience for our young people and our university was marred by these incidents,” Mitch Barnhart said in a letter he sent late last week.

There has been no response from the Pac-12, which supplied the officials for the bowl game against Northwestern, a UK spokesman said Thursday, the day the Herald-Leader acquired the letter via an open records request.
