August 21, 201214 yr By in large I have been pretty impressed with Cal's PR moves at UK (interacting with Alumni unlike Billy Clyde, the Haiti fund raiser, how he conducts Big Blue Madness, his constant support for the struggling football program, etc., etc., etc..) This one I am not too crazy about. I fully understand why he did, it produces an image in the program that recruits will find appealing but I think in a small way it does cheapen the ring itself. By no means am I upset with Cal, this is just one move I wish he had not done but will lose no sleep over it. On the other hand, I have no problem with the president getting a ring, and trust me, it is not because I am a fan of Obozo, quite the contrary. I think due to the prestige of the office of president makes it OK with teams give jersey's or rings to the president. I believe an invitation to the white house justifies those invited giving the president some form of a thank you gift out of courtesy.
