It’s a good time to be a Kentucky Wildcats fan, and that’s funny considering that just a few weeks ago, it appeared as if this was going to be a tough year for the Big Blue Nation (BBN) to endure.
That’s because head coach Mark Pope was under increasing pressure after failing to recruit some top stars and potentially losing players to the NBA draft. And while Tyran Stokes did decide to snub the Wildcats for the Kansas Jayhawks, things have significantly improved since.
Malachi Moreno first decided to withdraw from the NBA draft and return to Kentucky, where he excelled last season, and then the big news about Milan Momcilovic’s alleged $6 million return to college came in the form of a Kentucky commitment once he withdrew from the draft too. Fans were understandably excited, and now that excitement is set to escalate after the Lexington outfit announced a major relief plan for its college fans.
How Did Kentucky Manage to Lower Prices So Much?
Kentucky’s partnership with Compass Group allowed the prices to be lowered quite significantly, with a new $5 price point target. In fact, domestic canned beer is now available for as much as 50% cheaper, costing just $5 as compared to $10 earlier.
But there’s a kicker. It appears that the lowering of prices is currently limited to on-campus venues, which include Kroger Field, Historic Memorial Coliseum, and Kentucky Proud Park. So while Kentucky fans definitely do have something to cheer about, if you’re only into the men’s basketball team, you might need to wait just a little bit.
The Rupp Arena, where Mark Pope and Co. primarily play their matches, is yet to be included in the list, but at least fans on campus can now witness other Kentucky games with a bit more cash in their pockets.
