LEXINGTON -- The Southeastern Conference moved Friday to end its ban on member institutions selling alcohol at sporting events. Now it will leave the decision of whether to sell alcohol in public areas at athletic venues to each university.
The University of Kentucky has yet to decide if it will sale alcohol at its stadiums when the policy goes into effect on Aug. 1, 2019.
"The SEC has taken the right approach to this important issue by deferring to the individual, member institutions to make decisions about what is in the best interests of each university, their programs and their fans," UK president Eli Capilouto said in a statement released to the Courier Journal.
