It was reported earlier today that Kentucky head coach Mark Stoops has decided to not attend the annual Governor’s Cup Luncheon to promote the meeting between the Wildcats and the Louisville Cardinals.
Here is a report from Kentucky.com’s Jennifer Smith:
Kentucky Coach Mark Stoops has opted out of attending the annual Governor’s Cup luncheon in Louisville on Wednesday.
The luncheon, a charity and golf event raising money for Dare to Care, was set up to kickoff the season for both schools.
A UK spokesman said attending the summer event, now that the rivalry game has been permanently moved to the end of the season, “didn’t add up” for Stoops, who still will speak to the Rotary Club and a UK Alumni event in Louisville on Friday.
“Why am I going to invest most of the day … to talk about a game that’s now the last game of the season and more than four months away?” UK’s Tony Neely said was Stoops’ feeling.

There have been mixed feelings this morning about Stoops’ decision not to attend the luncheon.
Do you think this is a sign that Kentucky could end the Governor’s Cup series in the near future?
Do you think Kentucky should play Louisville in football?
I first think of the University of Kentucky’s lack of involvement with all the proceedings for the renovation plans for Rupp Arena. Remember how that ended?
I could really care less if Kentucky and Louisville played every year, and if the SEC schedule goes to 9 games, it won’t matter what you or I think anyway.
