Mitch Barnhart: "I did say stop the chatter. I didn't say no one could apologize."

Back in the summer, the UK Athletics family had a bit of a household squabble right as Mark Stoops’ football program began fall camp over at the Joe Craft Football Training Facility and as John Calipari’s basketball program was out of the country for four preseason exhibitions in the Bahamas. A sibling rivalry got heated when between games in the Bahamas, John Calipari called the University of Kentucky a “basketball school” while expressing his want for a new basketball practice facility on campus. Back in Lexington, Mark Stoops and his locker room took offense to Calipari’s public comments when, again, Kentucky Football was in the middle of preseason excitement and fall camp.
