The Kentucky-Louisville basketball game has been buried into the busiest part of the sports calendar for far too long. It’s time to make a change, one that all parties will agree is a win-win-win.
This year’s game is scheduled for December 29, the same day as the College Football Playoff. It’s the worst possible date in a week where bowl games have already captured the nation’s attention. Like last year, it could conflict with a potential UK or UofL bowl game. The SEC and the ACC has ties to the Belk Bowl, which will be played at noon on December 29.
