The University of Kentucky football program has decided to honor former head coach Rich Brooks and his wife Karen in its new facility renovations.
As Nutter Field House receives much-needed upgrades this offseason, UK Athletics has announced that a gift by donors Brett and Billie Jo Setzer allowed the playing surface inside that facility to be named Rich and Karen Brooks Field. It’s the second such honor for Brooks, who also saw the University of Oregon name its playing surface, inside Autzen Stadium, Rich Brooks Field.
“It’s obviously a very special moment,” Brooks said of being informed about this accolade.
