REPORT: UK HealthCare Program under investigation for Providing Jobs to Football Players

Earlier this week the Big Blue Nation learned when Chris Rodriguez would return to the field. Saturday morning we learned why he and Jordan Wright were sidelined at the beginning of the 2022 season.

Documents obtained by the Herald-Leader’s Jon Hale reveal the University of Kentucky launched an investigation in February into members of the Kentucky football team for allegedly filing inaccurate time cards while working for UK HealthCare.

The names of the players are redacted in the open records request, citing privacy law. However, the Herald-Leader’s report notes that two players in particular were under investigation.
