Kentucky Basketball Managers Launch NIL Music Video
March Madness is here and tensions are high for the Kentucky Wildcats. After disappointing exits in recent seasons, the hope is for them to end the tournament on top.
While the men's basketball team gets ready to prove they can win a National Championship, the managers decided to have some fun.
On Tuesday, the student managers released a music video. The video was created in a NIL partnership with Geddes Pools, a pool contractor in Kentucky.
The song is catchy, too, with a hilarious view of them sliding down a waterslide together and doing plenty of other things.
Not only is it awesome to see and should put a smile on everyone's faces, even Auburn fans, but it's incredible that they'll make some money along the way, too.
Student managers do just as much as anyone else in the program to contribute to success and seeing them rewarded for that is refreshing.
Kentucky lost in the SEC Tournament to Texas A&M, a disappointing end to a tournament that was winnable for the Wildcats. They were given a three-seed and will take on Oakland in the first round on Thursday, a game they should come away with.
The Wildcats haven't won a National Championship since 2012, which is less than ideal given the talent they produce each season.
This might not be the most talented Kentucky roster ever, but Reed Sheppard, Rob Dillingham, and others are NBA talents and need to step up in March.
Are they up for that task? Find out on Thursday.
