University of Kentucky Athletics Director Mitch Barnhart has been one of the most successful athletics directors in the country during his time with the Kentucky Wildcats, and he is going to be sticking around for a while.
On Friday, Matt Jones of Kentucky Sports Radio reported that the University of Kentucky has extended Barnhart’s contract through June of 2028.
In Barnhart’s 22-year tenure, the University has earned six championships, including men’s basketball in 2012, volleyball in 2020, and rifle in 2011, 2018, 2021, and 2022.
On top of that, the school has totaled 54 regular-season and conference tournament championships during his tenure.
