There is a pretty big country music festival & brass band festival in a nearby town that weekend.  I think there are some other athletic events on campus too. Otherwise idk what happened  :loco:  :dunno:

UK knew this all along. They shouldn’t have submitted a bid to host if they couldn’t  house all the players, fans, and families in the immediate vicinity. Did they deceive the selection committee? Or did the committee know all this, and picked them anyway?

The requirements state that they "must have the facilities to host". Not that they have to plan around a country music festival.  Facilities means the stadium, not hotel availablity week of.

That doesn't mean that UK and Lexington don't suck ass.  They do.  :dielaughing:
