Barnhart notes UK not under investigation

Here’s the response from UK Athletics Director Mitch Barnhart to the Birmingham City Schools review of Eric Bledsoe’s transcript:

“Eric Bledsoe was a part of our normal institutional process, the NCAA’s normal eligibility cycle and a more extensive secondary review by the NCAA eligibility center as well. We maintain our reliance on the high school, university and NCAA eligibility center for initial eligibility and will continue to do so. At no point was the University of Kentucky under investigation by the NCAA nor had any reason to believe we were ever under investigation.”
