The Mark Pope era of Kentucky basketball is tipping off with a financial leg up on the competition, thanks to the passion and generosity of the Big Blue Nation. Kentucky Sports Radio’s Matt Jones reports Club Blue NIL has surpassed over $1 million in annual pledged donations. That money was not raised by courting large donors but with a grassroots campaign that reached out to individuals across Big Blue Nation. It’s a tremendous achievement in the NIL landscape and a testament to the belief in the new Kentucky basketball regime. These annual pledges from the fans that fill the stands, combined...

It is unclear if Drake will stay loyal to Kentucky basketball after John Calipari’s departure, but Big Blue Nation now has John Legend in its corner. Legend is the uncle of the Wildcat’s speedy wide receiver, Anthony Brown-Stephens, and don’t think for a second Vince Marrow is going to let a good connection go unused. At the Club 15 NIL 500 Strong Gala on Friday, contributors to the collective received an intimate concert experience from the music icon. Mark Stoops and Vince Marrow also took the opportunity to present Legend with his own Kentucky Football jersey, complete with his nephew’s No....

It’s difficult to tangibly measure the excitement of a fanbase, unless that fanbase is the Big Blue Nation. Kentucky basketball fans sold out Rupp Arena for Mark Pope’s introductory press conference. Since that monumental moment, fans have put their money where their mouth is by investing in Pope’s future with much-needed NIL dollars. Club Blue has emerged as the primary NIL collective for the Kentucky basketball program. Matt Jones reports Club Blue has received $650,000 in recurring annual commitments through just the first three weeks of the Pope era. That does not include the lump sum priv...

Once the Supreme Court essentially told the NCAA, “Hold up. Y’all can’t stop players from making money; that’s definitely against the law and just kinda messed up in general,” decades’ worth of crap hit the Big Ass fan. You’ve seen some of the splattered mess playing out already. Stud mid-major transfers who likely don’t have the raw athleticism to make it to the NBA or NFL, are fishing big bucks from the power conference school with the deepest pockets, and yet, is impossible for anyone to evaluate actual worth. However, below this surface-level chaos, a tsunami of explosives is brewing, and ...

Here’s some great news to start the morning: Mark Pope is already getting big-time support from Kentucky’s boosters. According to Matt Jones, two donors have already pledged a combined $4 million for Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) funds to help build Pope’s program. As NIL more and more becomes the name of the game in college sports, that is a significant start. Pope’s hire took the fanbase by surprise last night, coming on the heels of the program being turned down by two big names, Scott Drew and Dan Hurley. Just hours after Hurley turned down what was reported to be a staggering offer from...

Rob Dillingham is likely headed to the NBA in the very near future, but he’s not done taking advantage of his college NIL opportunities just yet. The latest deal for the shifty freshman guard? Rapper Drake and his October’s Very Own (OVO) fashion company have partnered with the likes of Kentucky, UCLA, North Carolina, Kansas, and Syracuse for another limited-edition clothing line. Dillingham has been tabbed as the cover model for the Kentucky collection, rocking the Wildcats’ line on the OVO official Instagram page, which has over 1.6 million followers. The collection will be available in-stor...
