Your University of Kentucky Wildcats are getting it done in the classroom. For the 20th straight semester, UK Athletics surpassed its goal of a department-wide 3.0 grade point average (GPA). In the spring of 2022, Kentucky scholarship student-athletes achieved a combined 3.284 GPA. Athletics Director Mitch Barnhart first set the goal of a composite 3.0 GPA back in 2008 as part of his “15 x 15 x 15” plan. After four years, the athletic department reached it in the fall of 2012 and hasn’t dipped below the mark since.
“Ten years of 3.0 GPAs for our department is a remarkable achievement,” Barnhart said.
