  • With more players in the NBA than any other University, Olympians and world record holders in track, incumbent National Champions in volleyball, a historic cheerleading team, and a prestigious rifle team, among many more sports, we are one of the most decorated collegiate athletic program in the nation.

    The University of Kentucky boasts alumni like Ed Berry (CAA agent representing Aaron Rodgers, Saquon Barkley, Randall Cobb) and Michael Eaves (ESPN SportsCenter & NBA Countdown anchor) who have utilized this sports prestige to reach the highest levels in the sports industry.

    We are leveraging this reach to build a platform that helps students break into the sports industry through professional development, key industry contacts, and recruitment opportunities (following our program mission—Develop, Connect, Recruit).

  • Kentucky is the horse capital of the world, and with Churchill Downs & The Derby, Keeneland, and Alltech, equine is a huge player in the sports industry.

    With the development of The Cornerstone, a $35 million on-campus property development with the E-Sports Lounge as the crown jewel, the University of Kentucky has bet on itself as becoming the leader in collegiate e-sports. That bet is paying off, as we are now the most streamed University on Twitch.
