New Western Kentucky Basketball coach Rick Stansbury has shown up in Bowling Green with guns a blazing as he wants the student section packed with Hilltopper gear.
That or move to Lexington or Louisville.
Rick Stansbury to WKU students: “If they wanna wear that (UK or Louisville) shirt, they need to transfer”https://t.co/OSrsIADVSO

As you probably already figured out, there is a lot of reaction to this statement on twitter.
@MrChadBishop WKU is not the State's school. Kids grow up UK fans, but attend WKU because it's cheaper and closer to home. Deal with it.

@MrChadBishop feel like a better approach is getting all the UK and UL fans at WKU to have WKU be their second favorite team!

Understand #WKU's Rick Stansbury discouraging students from wearing #Kentucky and #Louisville shirts. But not his telling them to transfer.
