Kentucky's Mark Stoops encourages donors to give more after Georgia loss: 'They bought some pretty good players'

Kentucky coach Mark Stoops wants donors frustrated with his team’s blowout loss at Georgia to consider upping their NIL efforts to help Kentucky sign better players.

The Wildcats lost 51-13 to the No. 1 Bulldogs on Saturday night in a performance that was Georgia’s best of the season. The Bulldogs blitzed Kentucky from the start and the game was over once Georgia went up 21-0.

On his radio show Monday night, Stoops said fans had the right to complain about losses like Saturday night. But he also encouraged those who donate money in support of Kentucky athletics to up the ante and help the Wildcats improve.
