For years, Kentucky fans would have paid to hear Mark Stoops say “back to work” rather than his latest grievances with finances and fundraising surrounding NIL. The Kentucky head football coach was eager to discuss dollars and cents on Monday, yet with a much different tone and direction than in the past.
