September 3rd: On this date...


...... in 2008, the University of Kentucky announced it would be holding Big Blue Madness a week earlier (October 10th) than everyone else, giving the Kentucky brand the college basketball stage to itself. This decision allowed more recruits to come to Lexington and still keep their other visits in line. Those recruits would have to cherry pick which school’s they would visit the following week. The UK Athletic Department found a loophole that allowed two hours of practice per week after September 15th. The NCAA rule book prohibited practice before October 17th. So, in essence, the NCAA won’t allow you to practice before October 17th, but they will allow you to two-hours of practice per week after September 15th. I don’t understand it either.
