Kentucky men's basketball coach Mark Pope is a man of his word, even if it comes at a cost.
The Wildcats' first-year coach made waves when he promised to pay the gas for fans to drive to Milwaukee to watch Kentucky play in the 2025 men's NCAA Tournament. As Pope's charitable task spread, fans began emailing Pope to see if the coach would follow through.
On Wednesday evening, a screenshot of an email from Pope's executive assistant to men's basketball u2015 Megan Summers u2015 showed that the coach will keep his promise.
