I believe that Vanderbilt is another SEC time like UK: Hamrick probably has trouble getting them to even answer the phone, much less getting a discussion going about a possible game or games. Go look at UK's future schedules for the next 7 to 8 years. They have 3, sometimes 4 (whenever they have the home game in their series with Louisville) HOME games yearly in their out of conference schedules. Usually play 1 FCS team, like an in state foe, EKU, Murray, etc., and then some middle/lower level MAC foes. Believe in that period, they may actually play a ROAD game once or so against Akron, Toledo, etc.
I hope Hamrick tries hard to try and get another $$ game with South Carolina like the one "washed out" by the 2018 hurricane!
