Big Blue Madness Envelops Rupp Arena: Kentucky’s version of the celebration that coincides with the first official practice of the season will move from Memorial Coliseum to Rupp Arena this fall. Big Blue Madness will pour into the Wildcats’ larger facility because Memorial Coliseum’s capacity has shrunk from 8,700 to 5,600 because of construction. The move also happens to mark the 30th birthday of Rupp Arena, which seats 23,000. Wildcat officials said they do not plan to make the change permanent, adding that this year is merely an experiment.

The Seven C’s of Leadership
Former college basketball coach Mike Jarvis is back with a new book, The Seven C's of Leadership.
"Every one of us has leadership within us and this book offers fascinating principals that work in any setting—from the locker room to the executive board room. In The Seven C's of Leadership, Coach Jarvis lays out the essential ingredients of leadership."
-Jay Wright, NCAA Championship Men’s Basketball Coach, Villanova University
"At a time in America when we are witnessing an epidemic of opioid addictions and deaths, along with suicides, we need Coach Jarvis' Seven C's of Leadership – grounded in the power of Christ alone where we should all make our stand.”
-Lietenant Colonel Allen B. West (U.S. Army, Retired), Bronze Star recipient, and Member 112th U.S. Congress
"The Seven C's of Leadership is a slam dunk! Coach Jarvis has always been an outstanding leader because he has the ability to decipher what true leadership really means.”
-Dale Brown, Head Men’s Basketball Coach, LSU, 1972-1997, Member of the College Basketball Hall of Fame, and Shaquille O’Neal’s college coach
