A Louisville television station has an investigative report on how much Kentucky Basketball spent while they were in New Orleans for the Final 4.
WLKY tries, in my opinion, to make something out of nothing as they look at the expense reports and try to make a big deal out of what the players ate and how much it cost.
They also spelled UK Media’s DeWayne Peevy’s name wrong and mispelled massage.
Here is an excerpt from this “investigative” garbage:
BThe National Collegiate Athletic Association pays to fly teams to tournaments, but UK spent nearly $40,000 extra to charter not one, but two flights to New Orleans, to fly additional passengers.
The NCAA only pays for what’s deemed as team and normal staff.
Most of the extra seats were filled by band members and cheerleaders. But a message therapist from northern Kentucky got on the flight, too.
“It’s something our medical staff recommended,” said Peevey.
In New Orleans, the therapist charged the team $500 to $700 a day for giving deep tissue messages to the players.
“That was something the guys say really helped rejuvenate them,” said Peevey.
There will be another report, this time on Louisville’s expenses, and I wonder how many Italian restaurant’s that bill will include?
