Indiana athletic director Fred Glass says he hopes to revive the men’s basketball rivalry series with Kentucky.
Here are his recent comments on the series:
Despite Kentucky basketball coach John Calipari’s proclamation his non-conference schedule is locked in for the next five years, Indiana athletic director Fred Glass remains hopeful the annual Indiana-Kentucky series could be revived sooner.
“I continue to be optimistic,” Glass said. “I read the report, and I think there were some things that were lost in translation as far as what we’re willing to do in terms of venue. I’m optimistic we can continue to have those conversations and look forward to engaging in those conversations.”
The above statement suggests Glass is at least willing to explore playing the game on a neutral site within the state of Indiana, which was a sticking point when the IU-Kentucky series was discontinued following the 2011-12 season.
Kentucky hasn’t played at Indiana since 2011, largely due to things like this (WARNING: NSFW language in videos):
