Kentucky baseball coach Nick Mingione has less than 12 scholarships to divide among a 40-plus player roster, so obviously NIL money could make a huge impact in recruiting for him.
“I don’t think anyone would ever say there is just too much NIL money out there (for a particular team). It is a work in progress. I don’t know if you can ever have too much,” Mingione said.
He said there are a “lot of people who love Kentucky” and want to help student-athletes.
“We just appreciate all the help and support we get,” the UK coach said. “I will never do the comparison game. If you want to give because you love football, do that. We are all a team and family trying to do the same thing.
“There is no jealousy or envy. I just want all our programs to do well. This is a challenging time but whatever they can do to help baseball is much appreciated.”
