During Saturday’s game against Florida, ESPN broadcaster Dick Vitale gave his thoughts on Kentucky basketball’s alleged $22 million roster.
“I’m gonna say this right here… win or lose,” Vitale said. “I’ve done several now Kentucky games. Win or lose, $22 million dollars this team reports are, in terms of the NIL for their players. I think with $22 million, I think they could have put together a better roster than they did. I really do.”
