So Louisville builds The Yum Center and "suddenly Rupp isn't good enough". How many years has Kentucky been kicking around the idea of replacing Rupp, improving Rupp or building an on campus arena? Many many moons longer than The Yum Center has been around. If 1996/1997 serves me correctly, it gets no closer to an on-campus Basketball arena than was proposed then when Pitino was coaching Kentucky. I don't think this puts Kentucky in the wannabe class. I will say, what better time to strike while the iron is hot coming off Elite 8, Final 4 seasons plus this years team. If you build it, "they will come".
