Kentucky has its new athletic director (and CEO of Champions Blue), J Batt, and one of the first media members to speak to him was our founding father, Matt Jones.
Matt and Batt met up via Zoom this afternoon. The conversation lasted just under 15 minutes (Batt is a busy man today), but covered several topics, including what fans should know about Batt, why he took the job, his impressions of the University of Kentucky, and why he believes the school could be set up for success in this new era of college sports. Batt has a strong reputation for fundraising, and money was a big topic, with Batt preaching the importance of maximizing revenue streams. As his new title suggests, that’s one of the most important parts of the job.
