The Politics of UK: Gillispie Lands 8th Grader

I'm including this story on the political blog because it's the most unbelievable story in Kentucky news circles the past 12 hours. UK basketball coach Billy Gillispie has a verbal commitment from an 8th grader (you read that correctly) to play basketball for the Wildcats. I also saw in the C-J that UK is spending $400,000 for its own private jet to send coaches on recruiting trips. I know they're different pools of money, but how do UK and U of L fight the perception that they've got plenty of money for athletics, but none for teaching students in the classroom?
