Music City Bowl creates scheduling nightmare for UK vs. UofL, but was there a better option?

On Sunday afternoon, it was announced that the Kentucky Wildcats will travel to Nashville to take on the Iowa Hawkeyes in the Music City Bowl on New Year's Eve. There is only one big problem with that scenario...the kickoff is at the same time as the UK vs. Louisville Cardinals basketball game at Rupp Arena.

In what has become a scheduling nightmare for the UK Athletics department, the matchups could not have ended up any worse.

Let’s start with football.

The matchup with Iowa gives the Cats the second straight bowl-game against Mark Stoops alma mater.
