For the first time since the New York Times story broke, UK Athletics Director Mitch Barnhart has spoken publicly about the Eric Bledsoe situation.

Barnhart didn't mince words when he was asked about Bledsoe's transcripts being leaked. 

"I would think there's probably some legal implications there," Barnhart told the hosts of Nashville's 104.5 The Fan 3 Hour Lunch Show.

Barnhart also admitted he made a mistake in hiring Billy Gillispie to succeed Tubby Smith.
