Kentucky athletics director Mitch Barnhart took to social media to give his thoughts on the insensitive sign that was apparently made by a Kentucky fan and directed at Florida.
Check out Barnhart’s comments:
An insensitive and offensive sign has been making the rounds online this week. I want to be clear: That's not us.

We will show the respect and care due our opponents and those affected by natural disasters.

As we've planned all week, we'll accept donations at concession stands for UK's Emergency Assistance & Relief Fund. Please be generous.

Kudos to Barnhart for making a statement and a taking a stand.
