If you’ve been to a Kentucky Basketball or Football home game, you’ve seen them. The “Blue Coats” of the Committee of 101 have served as ushers at UK Athletics events since 1966 when a group of 101 IBM employees in the purchasing department chipped in a quarter each to send Adolph Rupp and the Kentucky Basketball team a telegram of support during an away game. Since then, the club has grown to approximately 300 members that greet fans, take tickets, work security, and help fans to their seats at every Kentucky basketball and football home game, along with select women’s basketball and baseball games and gymnastics events.
