Kentucky issues statement regarding new Sun-Times article

The University of Kentucky is dismayed by the continued lack of professionalism and responsible journalism exhibited by Michael O'Brien and the Chicago Sun-Times in running yet another false and defamatory story on August 6, 2010, regarding the University's recruitment of a high school student-athlete. Both the father of this student-athlete and the University have repeatedly told Mr. O'Brien that these unsubstantiated "rumors" are untrue. Neither the University of Kentucky nor any member of its Athletic Department has offered or paid any money or other illegal benefits to the student-athlete or his family.
