| Kentucky Wildcats Football News: |
| The University of Kentucky and head football coach Rich Brooks have finalized a new four-year contract, including a University option for a fifth year.
The new contract replaces Brooks initial five-year deal, which had one year remaining, and covers the 2007-10 seasons, plus the University option to renew for 2011. Including endorsements and broadcasting services, the coachs base pay will be $1 million per year, with additional incentives for winning five or more Southeastern Conference games, the SEC Eastern Division or overall league championship, participation in bowl games, increases in football ticket revenues, and academic performance by the team. Brooks arrived at UK beginning with the 2003 season, inheriting a program on major scholarship penalties because of NCAA violations committed by a previous staff. Brooks patiently rebuilt the program, culminating in an 8-5 season in 2006 that included a win over Clemson in the Gaylord Hotels Music City Bowl. |

UK Athletics and its advertising agent, Cornett Advertising, will hold the auditions on Sat. Apr. 23 at 10 a.m. at Commonwealth Stadium, prior to the Blue/White Spring Game which begins at 1 p.m. The auditions will be in the form of interviews and will be taped and reviewed by a panel of judges. Fans that most impress the judges with their enthusiasm and dedication to the UK football team will be called back in May to film the actual commercials. UK Athletics wants fans to demonstrate their exuberance and excitement for their team. Fans interested in auditioning on Apr. 23 should enter Gate 1 at Commonwealth Stadium and should dress as they normally do for a UK football game. |
