1+ hour, 29+ min ago (590+ words) The Wildcats have fallen out of the polls after getting bludgeoned by Gonzaga over the weekend, putting Mark Few firmly on the hot seat. The leash for coaches in college sports is getting shorter as the NIL era has brought on plenty of player movement, making it easier for programs to wonder why their coaches can't turn things around quickly like Curt Cignetti did for Indiana football. That impatience led to a dramatic coaching carousel in football, highlighted by Lane Kiffin's circus between Ole Miss and LSU, but we haven't seen that kind of chaos move to the hardwood quite yet.

(WDRB) -- When Kentucky football made the decision to part ways with head coach Mark Stoops, it knew the cost would be high. As the third-largest coaching buyout in college football history " $37.7 million " it might even have proved unworkable for the university. But Stoops himself came to an agreement with UK officials that helped secure a deal far less damaging to Kentucky's budget than the original terms of his contract required. Under the deal Stoops signed in 2022, he was owed75% of his remaining salary in a lump sum within 60 daysof termination without cause. At the time of his firing following a season-ending 41-0 loss to Louisville, that meant UK coming up with nearly $38 million in two months, which would be no simple…...

11+ hour, 54+ min ago (248+ words) The Kentucky Wildcats return to Rupp Arena tonight as they welcome the North Carolina Central Eagles to Lexington. Game time is set for 7 PM ET on the SEC Network. Looking to get back on track after the beatdown in Nashville on Friday night, the Cats will have to show a lot tonight to even get the BBN somewhat bought back in before Indiana comes to town on Saturday. NC Central comes into tonight ranked No. 350 out of 365 teams according to the KenPom rankings. In short? The Eagles are not even remotely close to the teams Kentucky has struggled with this season. So, what can the Wildcats show tonight to really get the fanbase bought back in? That is a great question, but it likely starts with showing some sort of confidence on the offensive side of the ball. Can they…...

At the same time, data from the Nevada Department of Education shows the state has seen a small increase in the share of teachers rated as "highly effective." The findings shed light on the potential implications of recent policy changes " particularly the bill from the 2023 legislative session that vastly bolstered teacher pay " with an increase in younger, inexperienced teachers entering the workforce alongside educators being tapped to cover subjects they are not licensed to teach. The state has seen an increase in retention rates and a decrease in vacancies since the…...
